Ecclesiastes 1:17-18
EasyEnglish Bible

17 So I decided to study how much wisdom and knowledge really help a person. I wanted to learn if it was better than someone who only does foolish things. But this was also useless, like somebody who tries to catch the wind.

18 The more wisdom you have,
    the more you will worry.
The more you learn,
    the more you suffer.[a]
