Ecclesiastes 1:16-18 - The Spokesman Begins To Study Life

16 {I said to myself}, "Look! I have become great and have increased [in] wisdom more than anyone who {has preceded} me over Jerusalem. {I have acquired a great deal of wisdom and knowledge}." 17 So {I dedicated myself} to learn about wisdom and [to] learn about delusion and folly. However, I discovered that this also [is] chasing wind.

18 For in much wisdom [is] much frustration, and whoever increases knowledge increases sorrow.
