Ecclesiastes 1:15-17

¹⁵That which is crooked can’t be made straight; and that which is lacking can’t be counted.

¹⁶I said to myself, “Behold, I have obtained for myself great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem. Yes, my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.”

¹⁷I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.
