Ecclesiastes 7:27

“Look,” says the Teacher, “I have discovered this by adding one thing to another to find out the explanation,

The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem.

“Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile.”

Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:

The words of the Teacher,

son of David, king in Jerusalem.

“Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile.”

I turned my thoughts to know, explore, and seek wisdom and an explanation for things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity and folly is madness.
