Ec 1:12: I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.<br/>
Ec 1:13: And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.<br/>
Ec 1:14: I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.<br/> 
Ec 1:15: That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.<br/>
Ec 1:16: 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.<br/> 
Ec 1:17: And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.<br/> 
Ec 1:18: For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.[[Category:Bible Topic]]
