Ecclesiastes 1:15-17

¹⁵That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and deficiency cannot be numbered.

¹⁶I spoke in my heart, saying, Behold, I am increased, and have acquired wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem: also I applied my heart to know wisdom and knowledge.

¹⁷And my heart knew much—wisdom, and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit.
