⁷ He puts an end to the work of every man, so that all may see his work.

² The works of the Lord are great, searched out by all those who have delight in them.

²⁷ So that they may see that it is the work of your hand; that you, Lord, have done it.

¹¹ Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see: let them see ... yes, your haters will be burned up in the fire.

¹² And corded instruments and wind-instruments and wine are in their feasts: but they give no thought to the work of the Lord, and they are not interested in what his hands are doing.

¹⁷ Then I saw all the work of God, and that man may not get knowledge of the work which is done under the sun; because, if a man gives hard work to the search he will not get knowledge, and even if the wise man seems to be coming to the end of his search, still he will be without knowledge.

⁴ For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.

⁹ And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.

⁸ Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.

²⁴ See that you give praise to his work, about which men make songs.

¹⁴ Truly, there is no building up of what is pulled down by him; when a man is shut up by him, no one may let him loose.

⁷ Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining.

¹² Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.
