New International Version
Ecclesiastes 1:12-18
New International Version
Wisdom Is Meaningless
12 I, the Teacher,(A) was king over Israel in Jerusalem.(B) 13 I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens.(C) What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!(D) 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.(E)
15 What is crooked cannot be straightened;(F)
what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me;(G) I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.” 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom,(H) and also of madness and folly,(I) but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.

The Limitations of Wisdom
12 I, the Teacher,(A) have been[a] king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I applied my mind to seek(B) and explore through wisdom all that is done under heaven.(C) God has given people this miserable task to keep them occupied.(D) 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun and have found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.[b](E)
15 What is crooked cannot be straightened;(F)
what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I said to myself,[c] “Look, I have amassed wisdom far beyond all those who were over Jerusalem before me,(G) and my mind has thoroughly grasped[d] wisdom and knowledge.” 17 I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge,(H) madness and folly;(I) I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind.[e](J)
18 For with much wisdom is much sorrow;(K)
as knowledge increases, grief increases.
