When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the task that one performs on the earth--though his eyes do not see sleep in the day or even in the night-- Context 16When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the task which has been done on the earth (even though one should never sleep day or night), 17and I saw every work of God, I concluded that man cannot discover the work which has been done under the sun. Even though man should seek laboriously, he will not discover; and though the wise man should say, “I know,” he cannot discover.
