Ecclesiastes 1:13-14

13And I 1set my 2mind to seek and 3explore by wisdom about everything that has been done under heaven. It is a 4 5sorry task with which God has given the sons of mankind to be troubled.

14I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is 6futility and striving after wind.
