¹⁶ When I tried to understand this, It was too painful for me;

¹⁷ 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.

⁶ Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

⁶ "Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.

¹⁹ Your way was through the sea; Your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

² Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

² "Surely I am the most ignorant man, And don't have a man's understanding.

³ I have not learned wisdom, Neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.

³² For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

³³ They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."

³⁴ They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn't understand the things that were said.

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?'

³³ Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
