Ecclesiastes 1:12-15

12I, the spokesman, have been king of Israel in Jerusalem.

13With all my heart I used wisdom to study and explore everything done under heaven. Mortals are weighed down with a terrible burden that God has placed on them.

14I have seen everything that is done under the sun. Look at it! It’s all pointless. ⌞It’s like⌟ trying to catch the wind.

15No one can straighten what is bent. No one can count what is not there.
