Ecclesiastes 1:16-18 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
16
I said to myself, "I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge."
17
And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind.
18
For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
