Ecclesiastes 1:16-18
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
16 I said to myself, ‘I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.’ 17 And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a chasing after wind.[a]
18 For in much wisdom is much vexation,
and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow.
