24
What exists is beyond [reach] and very deep. Who can discover it?
Ecclesiastes 7:24 In-Context
22
for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
23
All this I tested by wisdom and I said, “I am determined to be wise”— but this was beyond me.
24
Whatever exists is far off and most profound— who can discover it?
25
So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly.
26
I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare.
