Ecclesiastes 1:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 I have seen it all, and everything is just as senseless as chasing the wind.[a]
15 If something is crooked,
it can't be made straight;
if something isn't there,
it can't be counted.
16 (A) I said to myself, “You are by far the wisest person who has ever lived in Jerusalem. You are eager to learn, and you have learned a lot.”
