Ecclesiastes 7:24

24 {Whatever is--it is far beyond comprehension}. Who can discover it?

Ecclesiastes 7:24 In-Context

22 For your heart knows that you also have cursed others many times.
23 All this I have tested with wisdom. I said, "I will be wise!" but {it was beyond my grasp}.
24 {Whatever is--it is far beyond comprehension}. Who can discover it?
25 I set my mind to try to seek wisdom and the plan, and to know that wickedness [is] foolishness and that folly [is] delusion.
26 I myself found [that] more bitter than death [is] the woman who [is] a trap, whose heart [is] a snare, and whose hands [are] bonds. The one who pleases God escapes from her, but the sinner is caught by her.
