Ecclesiastes 1:13-15
International Standard Version
13 I dedicated myself to using wisdom for study and discovery of everything that is done under heaven.[a] God uses terrible things so human beings will struggle with life.[b] 14 I observed every activity done on earth. My conclusion: all of it is pointless—like chasing after the wind.
15 What is crooked cannot be made straight;
what is not there cannot be counted.
