And I
gave my
heart to
seek and search
out by
wisdom concerning all things that are
done under
heaven: this
sore travail hath
God given to the
sons of
man to be
exercised therewith.

I
communed with mine own

gotten more
wisdom than all they that have been

great experience of
wisdom and
knowledge.
