LEB(i)
13 I applied my mind to seek and to search by wisdom all that is done under the heavens.* It is a grievous task God has given to ⌊humans⌋.*
14 I saw all the works that are done under the sun. Look! Everything is vanity and chasing wind.
15 What is twisted cannot be straightened,* and what is lacking cannot be counted.*
16 ⌊I said to myself⌋,* "Look! I have become great and have increased in wisdom more than anyone who ⌊has preceded⌋* me over Jerusalem. ⌊I have acquired a great deal of wisdom and knowledge⌋."*
17 So ⌊I dedicated myself⌋* to learn about wisdom and to learn about delusion and folly. However, I discovered* that this also is chasing wind.
