Ecclesiastes 1:16-18
Christian Standard Bible
16 I said to myself, “See, I have amassed wisdom far beyond all those who were over Jerusalem before me,(A) and my mind has thoroughly grasped[a] wisdom and knowledge.” 17 I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge,(B) madness and folly;(C) I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind.(D)
18 For with much wisdom is much sorrow;(E)
as knowledge increases, grief increases.
