Ecclesiastes 1:13; Ecclesiastes 1:16-18

Ecclesiastes 1:13

13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven (this sore travail God has given to the sons of man that they be occupied in it).

Ecclesiastes 1:16-18

16 I communed with my own heart, saying, Behold, I am come to great estate and have gotten more wisdom than all those that have been before me in Jerusalem; and my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom and knowledge and to know folly and those who are mad; I learned in the end that this also is vexation of spirit.

18 For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.
