Ecclesiastes 1:16

I said in my heart , I have acquired great wisdom , surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge .

I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.”

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.
