Ecclesiastes 8:16-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ I tried very much to become wise. I wanted to understand the things that people do on the earth. People work in the day and in the night and they do not sleep. ¹⁷ I thought about everything that God has done. I realized that nobody understands everything that happens on the earth. Even if they try very much, they will not know everything. A wise person may say that he understands all these things. But really that is not possible.
