Ecclesiastes 8:17 (100.00%)

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 (8804) all the work H4639 of God H430, that a man H120 cannot H3201 (8799) find out H4672 (8800) the work H4639 that is done H6213 (8738) under the sun H8121: because H834 though H7945 a man H120 labour H5998 (8799) to seek [it] out H1245 (8763), yet he shall not find H4672 (8799) [it]; yea further; though a wise H2450 [man] think H559 (8799) to know H3045 (8800) [it], yet shall he not be able H3201 (8799) to find H4672 (8800) [it].
