Eclesiastés 8:16-17
La Palabra (España)
16 Conforme me he dedicado a conocer la sabiduría y a observar las tareas que se hacen en la tierra —pues ni de día ni de noche los ojos conocen el sueño—, 17 he considerado todas las obras de Dios, y el ser humano no puede descubrir todas las obras que se hacen bajo el sol. Por más que el ser humano se afana en buscar, no encuentra; y aunque el sabio pretenda saberlo, tampoco es capaz de descubrirlo.

Ecclesiastes 8:16-17
International Standard Version
16 When I dedicated myself to experience wisdom and to observe what is undertaken on earth—even going without sleep day and night— 17 I saw all of it as the activity of God.

Despite what he thinks he knows, he will not be able to figure it out.

Ecclesiastes 8:16-17
New International Version
16 When I applied my mind to know wisdom(A) and to observe the labor that is done on earth(B)—people getting no sleep day or night— 17 then I saw all that God has done.(C) No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.(D)

Ecclesiastes 8:16-17
King James Version
16 When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)
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.
