Ecclesiastes 1:12-18
12I the PreacherH6953 was kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 in JerusalemH3389. 13And I gaveH5414 my heartH3820 to seekH1875 and search outH8446 by wisdomH2451 concerning all things that are doneH6213 under heavenH8064: this grievousH7451 labourH6045 hath GodH430 givenH5414 to the sonsH1121 of manH120 to be exercisedH6031 with it.1 14I have seenH7200 all the worksH4639 that are doneH6213 under the sunH8121; and, behold, all is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. 15That which is crookedH5791 cannotH3201 be made straightH8626: and that which is lackingH2642 cannotH3201 be numberedH4487.2 16I spokeH1696 to my own heartH3820, sayingH559, Lo, I have come to great estateH1431, and have gainedH3254 more wisdomH2451 than all they that have been beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389: and my heartH3820 had greatH7235 experienceH7200 of wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH1847.3 17And I gaveH5414 my heartH3820 to knowH3045 wisdomH2451, and to knowH3045 madnessH1947 and follyH5531: I perceivedH3045 that thisH1571 also is vexationH7475 of spiritH7307. 18For in muchH7230 wisdomH2451 is muchH7230 griefH3708: and he that increasethH3254 knowledgeH1847 increasethH3254 sorrowH4341.
