Ecclesiastes 1:14-17

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!”

¹⁷So I determined to learn more about being wise and to learn about knowing about many things, and also to learn about doing things that are very foolish DOU. But I found out that trying to understand those things was also useless, like chasing the wind.
