Kohelet 1:15-17

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁵ That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and chesron (that which is lacking) cannot be numbered.

¹⁶ I communed with mine own lev, saying, Hinei, I am come to greatness, even greater chochmah than all they that have been before me over Yerushalayim; yea, my lev had great experience of chochmah and da’as.

¹⁷ And I applied my lev to have da’as of chochmah, and to have da’as of holelot (madness) and sichlut (folly); I perceived that this also is striving after ruach (wind).
