Ecclesiastes 1:13-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 I applied my heart to seek out and explore with wisdom everything done under the sky.[a] (What a burdensome task[b] God has given the children of Adam to keep them busy!) 14 I have seen all the actions done under the sun, and, look, it is all nothing but vapor. It is all chasing the wind. 15 Whatever is crooked cannot be straightened. Whatever is not there cannot be counted.
