Ecclesiastes 1:14-16

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁴ I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun, and lo, the whole [is] vanity and vexation of spirit!

¹⁵ A crooked thing [one] is not able to make straight, and a lacking thing is not able to be numbered.

¹⁶ I -- I spake with my heart, saying, `I, lo, I have magnified and added wisdom above every one who hath been before me at Jerusalem, and my heart hath seen abundantly wisdom and knowledge.
