Ecclesiastes 7:24

7:24 Whatever has happened is beyond human ¹  understanding; ² 

it is far deeper than anyone can fathom. ³ 

[7:24]  ¹ tn The word “human” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[7:24]  ² tn Heb “is far away.”

[7:24]  ³ tn Heb “It is deep, deep – who can find it?” The repetition of the word “deep” emphasizes the degree of incomprehensibility. See IBHS 233-34 §12.5a.
