Ecclesiastes 1:12-15
12I, the 1Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13And I 2set my 3mind to seek and 4explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is 5a grievous 6task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with. 14I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is 78vanity and striving after wind. 15What is 9crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted.
