Ecclesiastes 1:16-18 - The Spokesman Begins To Study Life
16 I -- I spake with my heart, saying, 'I, lo, I have magnified and added wisdom above every one who hath been before me at Jerusalem, and my heart hath seen abundantly wisdom and knowledge. 17 And I give my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I have known that even this is vexation of spirit;
18 for, in abundance of wisdom is abundance of sadness, and he who addeth knowledge addeth pain.'
