Ecclesiastes 1:13-17 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all which is done under the heavens. It is a sad task God has given to the sons of men to be humbled by it.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all which is done under the heavens. It is a sad task God has given to the sons of men to be humbled by it. ¹⁴ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. ¹⁵ What is crooked cannot be made straight; and that lacking cannot be numbered. ¹⁶ I spoke within my own heart, saying, Lo, I have become great and have gathered more wisdom than all that have been before me in Jerusalem; yea, my heart has seen much of wisdom and knowledge. ¹⁷ And I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I know that this also is vexation of spirit.
