Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 : An Obstacle to Comprehension from God or Human Slow-Wittedness in spite of God's Gift?

Abstract

In this paper I deal with the tenth and eleventh verses of Ecclesiastes chapter 3. The eleventh verse in particular constitutes almost a nightmare for translators.

First, I examine the range of Czech translations of these verses. I consequently deal with single words or collocations and finally explore the context and links with other passages in the book of Ecclesiastes.

My aim is to seek out a convincing exposition of these biblical verses.
