Context
14Nimeshaona mambo yote yanayotendeka chini ya jua, hayo yote ni ubatili, hii ni kukimbiza upepo. 15Kilichopindika hakiwezi kunyooshwa,
kile ambacho hakipo haiwezekani kukihesabu. 16Niliwaza mwenyewe, “Tazama, nimekua na kuongezeka katika hekima kuliko yeyote aliyewahi kutawala Yerusalemu kabla yangu. Nimekuwa na uzoefu mkubwa wa hekima na maarifa.” 17Ndipo nilipojitahidi kufahamu kutofautisha hekima, wazimu na upumbavu, lakini nikatambua hata hili nalo ni kukimbiza upepo. 18Kwa kuwa hekima nyingi huleta huzuni kubwa;
maarifa yanapoongezeka, masikitiko yanaongezeka.
