Ecclesiastes 1:14-16

¹⁴I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun: and, behold, all is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

¹⁵What is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is defective cannot be numbered.

¹⁶I spoke with my own heart, saying, Lo, I have truly obtained greater and more wisdom than all those who have been before me over Jerusalem: yea, my heart had seen much wisdom and knowledge.
