Ecclesiastes 1:14-18 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

14. I have seen it all, and everything is just as senseless as chasing the wind.

15. If something is crooked,it can't be made straight;if something isn't there,it can't be counted.

16. I said to myself, “You are by far the wisest person who has ever lived in Jerusalem. You are eager to learn, and you have learnt a lot.”

17. Then I decided to find out all I could about wisdom and foolishness. Soon I realized that this too was as senseless as chasing the wind.

18. The more you know,the more it hurts;the more you understand,the more you suffer.
