Ecclesiastes 1:16-18

16I said to myself, “See, I have amassed wisdom far beyond all those who were over Jerusalem before me, and my mind has thoroughly grasped wisdom and knowledge.”

17I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly; I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind.

18For with much wisdom is much sorrow; as knowledge increases, grief increases.
