16I
said to myself, “I have acquired great wisdom,
surpassing all who were over
Jerusalem before me;
and my mind has had great experience of wisdom and
knowledge.”
Talking with yourself
You may find enlightenment
Or self-destruction
Ruling positions
Require exceeding wisdom
Few rulers have it
It is not for man
To fill the God position
In a human life
To find wisdom seek
But seeking does not suffice
For revelation
Jerusalem kings
Not exactly examples
Of right behavior
If the sought does not
Meet essential human needs
Wisdom’s emptiness
