Ecclesiastes 1:13-18

13And I applied my heartH3820 to seekH1875 and searchH1875 out by wisdomH2451 concerning all that is done under the heavensH8064: this grievous occupation hath 1GodH430 givenH5414 to the children of menH120 to weary themselves therewith. 14I have seenH7200 all the worksH4639 that are done under the sunH8121, and behold, all is vanityH1892 and pursuit of the windH7307. 15That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numberedH4487. 16I communed with mine own heartH3820, sayingH559, Lo, I have becomeH1961 greatH1431 and have acquired wisdomH2451 more than all they that have beenH1961 before me over JerusalemH3389; and my heartH3820 hath seenH7200 muchH7235 of wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH1847. 17And I applied my heartH3820 to the knowledge of wisdomH2451, and to the knowledge of madnessH1947 and follyH5531: I perceived that this alsoH1571 is a striving after the windH7307. 18For in much wisdomH2451 is much vexation, and he that increaseth knowledgeH1847 increaseth sorrow.
