Ecclesiastes 1:15 Context
13And I gaue my heart to seeke and search out by wisedome, concerning all things that are done vnder heauen: this sore trauell hath God giuen to the sonnes of man, to be exercised therewith. 14I haue seene all the workes that are done vnder the Sunne, and behold, all is vanitie, and vexation of spirit. 15That which is crooked, cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbred. 16I communed with mine owne heart, saying, Loe, I am come to great estate, and haue gotten more wisedome then all they that haue beene before me in Ierusalem: yea my heart had great experience of wisedome & knowledge. 17And I gaue my heart to know wisedome, and to know madnesse and folly: I perceiued that this also is vexation of spirit.
