God's Word Translation

Ecclesiastes 1:15-18 God's Word Translation (GW)

15. No one can straighten what is bent.No one can count what is not there.

16. I thought to myself, “I have grown wiser than anyone who ⌊has ruled⌋ Jerusalem before me. I’ve had a lot of experience with wisdom and knowledge.”

17. I’ve used my mind to understand wisdom and knowledge as well as madness and stupidity. ⌊Now⌋ I know that this is ⌊like⌋ trying to catch the wind.

18. With a lot of wisdom ⌊comes⌋ a lot of heartache.The greater ⌊your⌋ knowledge, the greater ⌊your⌋ pain.
