Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made everything beautiful (appropriate, fitting) for its (his) time [all human tasks (verse 10) and the contrasts of life (verses 1-8) find their perfection in God], he has also given eternity (the hidden – Hebr. ha olam) in their hearts so that man cannot explore (find, understand) the work that God (Elohim) has done from the beginning (literally from the head) to the end.
[This is the only time in the Old Testament that olam appears in the definite form. This is the fourth (and central) of seven occurrences in Ecclesiastes. The word olam comes from alam, which means hidden. One meaning is something that is hidden and cannot be seen. The word also has the meaning of ages that have been (Eccles. 1:10) and the future and eternity (Eccles. 1:4). Later Jewish interpretation translates the word as “world.” Man is created in God's image (Gen. 1:27), and in every human being there is a latent longing for God (Rom. 1:19).]
