Ecclesiastes 8:15-17

¹⁵So I decided that I would recommend that people be happy while they are alive, because the best thing that people can do here on this earth is to eat and drink and be happy. Enjoying doing those things will help people while they do their work, all the time that God has given to them to remain alive here on the earth.

¹⁶I thought about being wise and about people who work very hard, working day and night and not taking time to sleep.

¹⁷Then I thought about everything HYP that God has done, and I realized that no one can understand everything that happens here on this earth. Truly, people are not able to fully understand everything that God understands, even if they try hard to do that. Even if wise people claim that they understand it all, they cannot.
