Ecclesiastes 1:15-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

15. If something is crooked,you can’t make it straight.If something is missing,you can’t say it is there.

16. I said to myself, “I have become very wise. I am now wiser than anyone who ruled Jerusalem before me. I know what wisdom and knowledge really are.”
