Ecclesiastes:1:12-18




ylt@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @I, a preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @And I have given my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that hath been done under the heavens. It [is] a sad travail God hath given to the sons of man to be humbled by it.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun, and lo, the whole [is] vanity and vexation of spirit!

ylt@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @A crooked thing [one] is not able to make straight, and a lacking thing is not able to be numbered.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @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.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @And I give my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I have known that even this [is] vexation of spirit;

ylt@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @for, in abundance of wisdom [is] abundance of sadness, and he who addeth knowledge addeth pain.'
