Even though a person laboriously seeks, he will not discover; and (D)even if the wise person claims to know, he cannot discover.

Ecclesiastes 8:16-17
New King James Version
16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night, 17 then I saw all the work of God, that (A)a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.
