15 What is crooked cannot be made straight, and you cannot count what is not there. [7]

16 [AJ] Though I said to myself, "See, I have greatly increased my wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem, and my mind has broad experience of wisdom and knowledge,"

17 yet when I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly, I learned that this also is a chase after wind. [AK]
