Ecclesiastes 8:15-17

8:15

Then I commended
<07623> (8765)

mirth
<08057>_,

because a man
<0120>

hath no better thing
<02896>

under the sun
<08121>_,

than to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

and to be merry
<08055> (8800)_:

for that shall abide
<03867> (8799)

with him of his labour
<05999>

the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_,

which God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8804)

him under the sun
<08121>_.

8:16

When I applied
<05414> (8804)

mine heart
<03820>

to know
<03045> (8800)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and to see
<07200> (8800)

the business
<06045>

that is done
<06213> (8738)

upon the earth
<0776>_:

(for also [there is that] neither day
<03117>

nor night
<03915>

seeth
<07200> (8802)

sleep
<08142>

with his eyes
<05869>:)

8:17

Then I beheld
<07200> (8804)

all the work
<04639>

of God
<0430>_,

that a man
<0120>

cannot
<03201> (8799)

find out
<04672> (8800)

the work
<04639>

that is done
<06213> (8738)

under the sun
<08121>_:

because
<0834>

though
<07945>

a man
<0120>

labour
<05998> (8799)

to seek [it] out
<01245> (8763)_,

yet he shall not find
<04672> (8799)

[it]; yea further; though a wise
<02450>

[man] think
<0559> (8799)

to know
<03045> (8800)

[it], yet shall he not be able
<03201> (8799)

to find
<04672> (8800)

[it].
