⁷ He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

² The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

²⁷ That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

¹¹ LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

¹² And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

¹⁷ Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

⁴ For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

⁹ And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

⁸ Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

²⁴ Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.

¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

⁷ Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

¹² He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
