14 I saw all the works that are done under the sun. Look! Everything is vanity and chasing wind.
15 What is twisted cannot be straightened, and what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I said to myself, “Look! I have become great and have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has preceded me over Jerusalem. I have acquired a great deal of wisdom and knowledge.”
17 So I dedicated myself to learn about wisdom and to learn about delusion and folly. However, I discovered that this also is chasing wind.
18 For in much wisdom is much frustration, and whoever increases knowledge increases sorrow.
