then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.

then I beheld H7200 (QalPerf) all the work H4639 of God, H430 that a man H120 cannot H3201 (QalImpf) find out H4672 (QalInf) the work H4639 that is done H6213 (NiphPerf) under the sun: H8121 because H834 though H7945 a man H120 labour H5998 (QalImpf) to seek it out, H1245 (PielInf) yet he shall not find H4672 (QalImpf) it; yea farther; though a wise H2450 man think H559 (QalImpf) to know H3045 (QalInf) it, yet shall he not be able H3201 (QalImpf) to find H4672 (QalInf) it.

και ειδον συν παντα τα ποιηματα του θεου οτι ου δυνησεται ανθρωπος του ευρειν συν το ποιημα το πεποιημενον υπο τον ηλιον οσα αν μοχθηση ο ανθρωπος του ζητησαι και ουχ ευρησει και γε οσα αν ειπη ο σοφος του γνωναι ου δυνησεται του ευρειν

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.

For all this I considered H5414 (QalPerf) in my heart^§ H3820 even to declare H952 (QalInf) all this, that the righteous, H6662 and the wise, H2450 and their works, H5652 are in the hand H3027 of God: H430 no man H120 knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) either H1571 love H160 or hatred H8135 by all that is before H6440 them.

Ecclesiastes 9:1 Heb. I gave, or set to my heart

οτι συν παν τουτο εδωκα εις καρδιαν μου και καρδια μου συν παν ειδεν τουτο ως οι δικαιοι και οι σοφοι και εργασιαι αυτων εν χειρι του θεου και γε αγαπην και γε μισος ουκ εστιν ειδως ο ανθρωπος τα παντα προ προσωπου αυτων

I returned, H7725 (QalPerf) and saw H7200 (QalInf) under the sun, H8121 that the race H4793 is not to the swift, H7031 nor the battle H4421 to the strong, H1368 neither yet bread H3899 to the wise, H2450 nor yet riches H6239 to men of understanding, H995 (NiphPtc) nor yet favour H2580 to men of skill; H3045 (QalActPtc) but time H6256 and chance H6294 happeneth H7136 (QalImpf) to them all.

επεστρεψα και ειδον υπο τον ηλιον οτι ου τοις κουφοις ο δρομος και ου τοις δυνατοις ο πολεμος και γε ου τοις σοφοις αρτος και γε ου τοις συνετοις πλουτος και γε ου τοις γινωσκουσιν χαρις οτι καιρος και απαντημα συναντησεται τοις πασιν αυτοις

Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

now there was found H4672 (QalPerf) in it a poor H4542 wise H2450 man, H376 and he by his wisdom H2451 delivered H4422 (PielPerf) the city; H5892 yet no man H120 remembered H2142 (QalPerf) that same poor H4542 man. H376

The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.

The words H1697 of wise H2450 men are heard H8085 (NiphPtc) in quiet H5183 more than the cry H2201 of him that ruleth H4910 (QalActPtc) among fools. H3684

Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

And moreover, H3148 because the preacher H6953 was wise,^§ H2450 he still taught H3925 (PielPerf) the people H5971 knowledge; H1847 yea, he gave good heed, H239 (PielPerf) and sought out, H2713 (PielPerf) and set in order H8626 (PielPerf) many H7235 (HiphInf) proverbs. H4912

The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

The words H1697 of the wise H2450 are as goads, H1861 and as nails H4930 fastened H5193 (QalPasPtc) by the masters H1167 of assemblies, H627 which are given H5414 (NiphPerf) from one H259 shepherd. H7462 (QalActPtc)
