mkjv - Ecclesiastes:1:12-18

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ 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.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ What [is] crooked cannot be made straight; and [that] lacking cannot be numbered.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ 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.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I know that this also [is] vexation of spirit.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For in much wisdom [is] much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
