8:16. When I tried to gain wisdom and to observe the activity on earth— even though it prevents anyone from sleeping day or night—

8:16. In my search for wisdom and in my observation of people's burdens here on earth, I discovered that there is ceaseless activity, day and night.

8:16. When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes),

8:16. When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night do one's eyes see sleep,

8:16. When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also [there is that] neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)

8:16. When I applied my mind to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night one's eyes see sleep;

8:16. When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)

8:16. When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that hath been done on the earth, (for there is also a spectator in whose eyes sleep is not by day and by night),

8:16. I carefully studied the things people do in this life. I saw how busy people are. They work day and night, and they almost never sleep.

8:16. When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night sees sleep with his eyes),

8:16. When H834 I applied H5414 H853 mine heart H3820 to know H3045 wisdom, H2451 and to see H7200 H853 the business H6045 that H834 is done H6213 upon H5921 the earth: H776 ( for H3588 also H1571 [there] [is] [that] neither H369 day H3117 nor night H3915 seeth H7200 sleep H8142 with his eyes: H5869 )
