Ecclesiastes 1:14-16

¹⁴It seems that nothing that happens on the earth really enables us to do anything useful. It is like MET chasing the wind.

¹⁵Many things that are crooked cannot be caused to become straight; we cannot count things that do not exist.

¹⁶I said to myself, “ Hey, I am wiser than any of the kings that ruled in Jerusalem before I became the king. I am wiser and I know more than any of them!”
