Tree Of Life Version

Ecclesiastes 1:14-18 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

14. I have seen all the deeds done under the sun; and behold, all is meaningless and chasing after the wind.

15. What is crooked cannot be made straight. What is missing cannot be counted.

16. I spoke with my heart saying: “I have grown rich and increased in wisdom more than any who were before me over Jerusalem. Indeed, my heart has experienced much wisdom and knowledge.”

17. So I applied my heart to know wisdom as well as to know madness and folly. I learned that this too was pursuit of the wind.

18. For with much wisdom comes much grief, and whoever keeps increasing knowledge, increases heartache.
