The Grief of Wisdom

12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I set my heart to seek and asearch out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; bthis burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be1 exercised.  
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
15 aWhat is crooked cannot be made straight,
And what is lacking cannot be numbered.  
16 I communed with my heart, saying, “Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained amore wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has1 understood great wisdom and knowledge.”
