Ecclesiastes 1:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 What is (A)crooked cannot be straightened, and what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I [a]said to myself, “Behold, I have magnified and increased (B)wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my [b]mind has observed [c]a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.” 17 And I (C)applied my [d]mind to know wisdom and to (D)know insanity and foolishness; I realized that this also is (E)striving after wind.
