3:10 I have observed the burden
that God has given to people 1 to keep them occupied.
7:13 Consider the work of God:
For who can make straight what he has bent?
7:24 Whatever has happened is beyond human 2 understanding; 3
it is far deeper than anyone can fathom. 4
1 tn Heb “the sons of man.”
2 tn The word “human” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
3 tn Heb “is far away.”
4 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.
