Ecclesiastes 1:16-18
American Standard Version
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have gotten me great wisdom [a]above all that were before me [b]in Jerusalem; yea, my heart [c]hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 17 And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also was a striving after wind. 18 For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
