Ecclesiastes 8:16-17

International Children’s Bible

We Cannot Understand All God Does

¹⁶ I used my mind to learn about all that happens on earth. I saw how busy people are. They work day and night and hardly ever sleep. ¹⁷ I also saw all that God has done. Nobody can understand what God does here on earth. No matter how hard a person tries to understand it, he cannot. Even if a wise man says he understands, he really cannot. No one at all can really understand it.
