CHAPTER 8

17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the ^awork 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 ^bwise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

Eccl. 3: 11.

11 He hath made every thing ^abeautiful in his time: also he ^bhath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the ^cwork that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

2 Ne. 9: 28.

28 O that cunning ^aplan of the evil one! O the ^bvainness, and the frailties, and the ^cfoolishness of men! When they are ^dlearned they think they are ^ewise, and they ^fhearken not unto the ^gcounsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their ^hwisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.

D&C 76: 9.

9 And their ^awisdom shall be great, and their ^bunderstanding reach to heaven; and before them the wisdom of the wise shall ^cperish, and the understanding of the ^dprudent shall come to naught.
