Ecclesiastes 1:15-17

21st Century King James Version

¹⁵ That which is crooked cannot be made straight, and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

¹⁶ I communed with mine own heart, saying, “Lo, I have come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem; yea, my heart had great experience in wisdom and knowledge.”

¹⁷ And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. But I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
