Ecclesiastes 8:17

JUB

NIV

17 And I have seen regarding all the works of God that man cannot attain <em>to understand</em> the work that is being done under the sun, because though a man labours to seek <em>it</em> out, yet he shall not find it; even though the wise <em>man</em> says that he knows <em>it</em>, yet he shall not be able to attain it.
17 then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.
