Ecclesiastes 1:15-18

¹⁵That which is bent may not be made straight, and that which is not there may not be numbered.

¹⁶I said to my heart, See, I have become great and am increased in wisdom more than any who were before me in Jerusalem — yes, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.

¹⁷And I gave my heart to getting knowledge of wisdom, and of the ways of the foolish. And I saw that this again was desire for wind.

¹⁸Because in much wisdom is much grief, and increase of knowledge is increase of sorrow.
