Ecclesiastes 1:16-18 - The Spokesman Begins To Study Life
16 I thought to myself, "I have become much wiser than any of my predecessors who ruled over Jerusalem; I have acquired much wisdom and knowledge." 17 So I decided to discern the benefit of wisdom and knowledge over foolish behavior and ideas; however, I concluded that even this endeavor is like trying to chase the wind!
18 For with great wisdom comes great frustration; whoever increases his knowledge merely increases his heartache.
