Here is the way that The Message says it:<br /><br /><i>""I said to myself, "I know more and I'm wiser than anyone before me in Jerusalem. I've stockpiled wisdom and knowledge." What I've finally concluded is that so-called wisdom and knowledge are mindless and witless--nothing but spitting into the wind. Much learning earns you much trouble. The more you know, the more you hurt." (Ecc 1:16-18 MSG)"</i><br /><br /><a href="http://redeemed.kansasbob.com/2006/03/spitting-into-wind.html" rel="nofollow">Spitting into the wind</a> is so descriptive of futility.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-67385547888476063142010-11-22T19:52:43.298-06:002010-11-22T19:52:43.298-06:00Ecclesiates 1 King James Version
12I the Preacher...Ecclesiates 1 King James Version<br /><br />12I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.<br /><br /> 13And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.<br /><br /> 14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.<br /><br /> 15That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.<br /><br /> 16I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.<br /><br /> 17And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.<br /><br /> 18For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.<br /><br />Yep, that sounds familiar!
