Ecclesiastes 1:15

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered." — Ecclesiastes 1:15 (ASV)

He saw clearly both the disorder and incompleteness of human actions (compare the marginal reference), and also man’s impotence to rectify them.
