Ecclesiastes 1 📜 📕 ↷
13 and have proposed in my mind to seek and search wisely of all things, that are done under the sun. This very evil occupation hath God given to the children of men, that they might be occupied in it.📜💬📚
14 I have seen all things, that are done under the sun, and behold all are vanity, & affliction of spirit.📜💬📚
15 The perverse are hardly corrected, and the number of fools is infinite.📜💬📚
16 I have spoken in my heart, saying: Lo I have been made great, and have gone beyond all in wisdom, that were before me in Jerusalem: and my mind hath contemplated many things wisely, and I have learned.📜💬📚
17 And I have given my heart to know prudence, and doctrine, and errors, and folly: and I have perceived that in these also there was labour, and affliction of spirit,📜💬📚
18 for that in much wisdom there is much indignation: and he that addeth knowledge, addeth also labour.📜💬📚
