15 [that _which _is]_bent not it _is _able to_straightened and_what _is _lacking not it _is _able to_counted.

17 And_applied mind_my to_know wisdom and_know madness(es) and_folly I _knew that_also this it [is]_a _striving of _wind.
18 If/because in/on/at/with_much of _wisdom abundance of _frustration and_increases knowledge he _will _increase pain.
