NASB
"What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted."
— Ecclesiastes 1:15, NASB
“That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.”
“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, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.
And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.
What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted.
I said to myself, "Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge."
And I set my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I realized that this also is striving after wind.
Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.
