Ecclesiastes 8:16-17

Easy-to-Read Version

We Cannot Understand All God Does

¹⁶ I carefully studied the things people do in this life. I saw how busy people are. They work day and night, and they almost never sleep. ¹⁷ I also saw that no one can understand all that God does. People can try and try to understand the things that happen here on earth, but they cannot. There may be wise people who claim to understand the meaning of these things, but they are wrong. No one can understand it all.
