15 aWhat is crooked cannot be made straight,
And what is lacking cannot be numbered.
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.”
17 aAnd I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.
18 For ain much wisdom is much grief,
And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
