¹⁷ then I considered all the work of God, that man is not able to find out the work that hath been done under the sun, because though man labour to seek, yet he doth not find; and even though the wise man speak of knowing he is not able to find.

¹¹ The whole He hath made beautiful in its season; also, that knowledge He hath put in their heart without which man findeth not out the work that God hath done from the beginning even unto the end.

³³ O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!

¹⁶ And I think to know this, Perverseness it `is' in mine eyes,

²³ All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, `I am wise,' and it `is' far from me.

²⁴ Far off `is' that which hath been, and deep, deep, who doth find it?

⁹ Doing great things, and there is no searching. Wonderful, till there is no numbering.

²⁸ Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The God of the age -- Jehovah, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.

⁵ As thou knowest not what `is' the way of the spirit, How -- bones in the womb of the full one, So thou knowest not the work of God who maketh the whole.

³ Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I know.

⁴ Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What `is' His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

²⁴ How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.

⁵ Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

⁷ By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?

⁸ Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?

⁹ Longer than earth `is' its measure, And broader than the sea.
