Ecclesiastes 1:14-16 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

14. I looked at everything done on earth, and I saw that it is all a waste of time. It is like trying to catch the wind.

15. If something is crooked, you cannot say it is straight. And if something is missing, you cannot say it is there.

16. I said to myself, “I am very wise. I am wiser than all the kings who ruled Jerusalem before me. I know what wisdom and knowledge really are.”
