Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 9:16

καὶ μόλις εἰκάζομεν τὰ ἐπὶ γῆς καί τὰ ἐν χερσὶν εὑρίσκομεν μετὰ πόνου· τὰ δὲ ἐν οὐρανοῖς τίς ἐξιχνίασε;
King James Version (KJV)

And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?

Modern English

We can barely guess even at things on earth, and we find with great effort what is right in front of us; who, then, can search out the things of heaven?
