Ecclesiastes 1:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁴ I have seen all the actions done under the sun, and, look, it is all nothing but vapor. It is all chasing the wind. ¹⁵ Whatever is crooked cannot be straightened. Whatever is not there cannot be counted.

¹⁶ I thought in my heart, “Look, I have become great and accumulated more wisdom than anyone ruling over Jerusalem before me. My mind^[a] has absorbed so much wisdom and knowledge.”
