Ecclesiastes 1:13; Ecclesiastes 1:16-18

Ecclesiastes 1:13

13 I looked most carefully into everything, searched out all that is done on this earth. And let me tell you, there's not much to write home about. God hasn't made it easy for us.

Ecclesiastes 1:16-18

16 I said to myself, "I know more and I'm wiser than anyone before me in Jerusalem. I've stockpiled wisdom and knowledge."

17 What I've finally concluded is that so-called wisdom and knowledge are mindless and witless - nothing but spitting into the wind.

18 Much learning earns you much trouble. The more you know, the more you hurt.
