16: I spoke [G2980][G1473] in [G1722] my heart [G2588][G1473] the [G3588] to say [G3004], look [G2400], I [G1473] was magnified [G3170], and [G2532] was added [G4369] wisdom [G4678] over [G1909] all [G3956] who [G3739] came [G1096] before [G1715] me [G1473] in [G1722] Jerusalem. And [G2532] I give [G1325] my heart [G2588][G1473] the [G3588] to know [G1097] wisdom [G4678] and [G2532] knowledge [G1108].
17: And [G2532] my heart [G2588][G1473] looked [at] [G1492] much [G4183] wisdom [G4678] and [G2532] knowledge [G1108], paralells '[G3850], and [G2532] higher knowledge . knew [G1097] I [G1473] For [G3754] even [G2532] indeed [G1065] this [G3778] is resolve of wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151].
18: For [G3754] in [G1722] abundance [G4128] of wisdom [G4678] [is] abundance [G4128] of knowledge [G1108]; and [G2532] the [G3588] [one] adding [G4369] knowledge [G1108] will add [G4369] pain .
