Wisdom Is Meaningless
12
I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13
I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!
14
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
15
What is crooked cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted.
