Ecclesiastes 8:16-17

New Century Version

We Cannot Understand All God Does

¹⁶ I tried to understand all that happens on earth. I saw how busy people are, working day and night and hardly ever sleeping. ¹⁷ I also saw all that God has done. Nobody can understand what God does here on earth. No matter how hard people try to understand it, they cannot. Even if wise people say they understand, they cannot; no one can really understand it.
