Verse 17

then I beheld{H7200} all the work{H4639} of God,{H430} that man{H120} cannot{H3201} find out{H4672} the work{H4639} that is done{H6213} under the sun:{H8121} because{H834} however{H7945} much a man{H120} labor{H5998} to seek it out,{H1245} yet he shall not find{H4672} it; yea moreover, though a wise{H2450} man think{H559} to know{H3045} it, yet shall he not be able{H3201} to find{H4672} it.
