King James Version
"That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered."
— Ecclesiastes 1:15, King James Version
“That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. ”
“That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.”
“What is bent cannot be straightened, and what is missing cannot be supplied.”
“The perverse are hard to be corrected, and the number of fools is infinite.”
“That which is bent may not be made straight, and that which is not there may not be numbered.”
“That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.”
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
And 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.
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
I 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.
And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
