Ecclesiastes 1:14-16
King James Version
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

Ecclesiastes 1:14-16
New King James Version
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
15 (A)What is crooked cannot be made straight,
And what is lacking cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with my heart, saying, “Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained (B)more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has [a]understood great wisdom and knowledge.”
