ecclesiastes 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

ecclesiastes 1:18 Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge [results in] increasing pain.

18. wisdom . . . knowledge--not in general, for wisdom, &c., are most excellent in their place; but speculative knowledge of man's ways (Ec 1:13, 17), which, the farther it goes, gives one the more pain to find how "crooked" and "wanting" they are (Ec 1:15; 12:12).

ecclesiastes 1:18 Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge [results in] increasing pain.
