Ecclesiastes 1:13-17

And I gave
<05414> (8804)
my heart
<03820>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
and search out
<08446> (8800)
by wisdom
<02451>
concerning all [things] that are done
<06213> (8738)
under heaven
<08064>_:
this sore
<07451>
travail
<06045>
hath God
<0430>
given
<05414> (8804)
to the sons
<01121>
of man
<0120>
to be exercised
<06031> (8800)
therewith. {to be...: or, to afflict them}
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
all the works
<04639>
that are done
<06213> (8738)
under the sun
<08121>_;
and, behold, all [is] vanity
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_.
[That which is] crooked
<05791> (8794)
cannot
<03201> (8799)
be made straight
<08626> (8800)_:
and that which is wanting
<02642>
cannot
<03201> (8799)
be numbered
<04487> (8736)_.
{that which is wanting: Heb. defect}
I communed
<01696> (8765)
with mine own heart
<03820>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Lo, I am come to great estate
<01431> (8689)_,
and have gotten
<03254> (8689)
more wisdom
<02451>
than all [they] that have been before
<06440>
me in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
yea, my heart
<03820>
had great
<07235> (8687)
experience
<07200> (8804)
of wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<01847>_.
{had...: Heb. had seen much}
And I gave
<05414> (8799)
my heart
<03820>
to know
<03045> (8800)
wisdom
<02451>_,
and to know
<03045> (8800)
madness
<01947>
and folly
<05531>_:
I perceived
<03045> (8804)
that this
<01571>
also is vexation
<07475>
of spirit
<07307>_.
