Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
(Occurrence 0) far off and very deep
(Some words not found in UHB: far_off what? which,is and,deep deep who? discover,it )
This speaks of wisdom being difficult to understand as if it were something located far away or in a very deep place. Alternate translation: “difficult to understand”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) Who can find it?
(Some words not found in UHB: far_off what? which,is and,deep deep who? discover,it )
The writer uses this rhetorical question to emphasize the difficulty in understanding wisdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “No one can understand it.”
7:23-25 it didn’t work: The Teacher was not able to find the wisdom that he sought or the reason for things. Such reasons are hidden in the mind of God (3:11; 8:17).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
