15What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted.
15What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted.
12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men!
14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
15 What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I thought to myself, "Look, I have grown and increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge."
17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.
1:15[That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
1:15The perverse are hard to be corrected, and the number of fools is infinite.
1:15That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
1:15That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
1:15That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
1:15That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
1:15That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.
1:15A crooked thing one is not able to make straight, and a lacking thing is not able to be numbered.
1:15That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
