'Cannot' in the Bible

All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

For all day long his work produces pain and frustration, and even at night his mind cannot relax! This also is futile!

Just as he came naked from his mother's womb, he will leave as naked as he came; he will receive no profit from his efforts he cannot carry away even a handful.

Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years -- even if he lives a long, long time, but cannot enjoy his prosperity -- even if he were to live forever -- I would say, "A stillborn child is better off than he is!"

Whatever exists has been named already; people know what it means to be human and a person cannot defeat one who is more powerful than he.

Just as no one has power over the wind to restrain it, so no one has power over the day of his death. Just as no one can be discharged during the battle, so wickedness cannot rescue the wicked.

Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
