Ecclesiastes 1:15

← Ecclesiastes 1:14	Ecclesiastes 1:15 (KJV)	Ecclesiastes 1:16 →
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.	[That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.	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.
