Parallel Verses
NASB:
and 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.
KJV:
Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek
it
out, yet he shall not find
it
; yea further; though a wise
man
think to know
it
, yet shall he not be able to find
it
.
