15. The perverse are hard to be corrected, and the number of fools is infinite.
16. I have spoken in my heart, saying: Behold I am become 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.

18. Because In much wisdom there is much indignation: and he that addeth knowledge, addeth also labour.
