1:14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun, and have found them all to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.
1:15 What is crooked cannot be straightened, and what is lacking cannot be counted.
1:16 I said to myself, “Behold, I have grown and increased in wisdom beyond all those before me who were over Jerusalem, and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.”
1:17 So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind.
1:18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, and as knowledge grows, grief increases.
