Ecclesiastes 1:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 And I have given mine heart to search and find out wisdom by all things that are done under the heaven: (this sore travail hath God given to the sons of men, [a]to humble them thereby.)
14 I have considered all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity, and vexation of the spirit.
15 That which is [b]crooked, can none make straight: and that which faileth, cannot be numbered.

- Ecclesiastes 1:15 Man is not able by all his diligence to cause things to go otherwise than they do: neither can he number the faults that are committed, much less remedy them.
