“Ecclesiastes 1:15 15 What is crooked cannot be made
straight, and what is lacking cannot be counted.”
These
words penned by Qoheleth of Ecclesiastes are some of the most penetrating in
the entire cannon of the Bible. In one
sentence the great teacher poignantly expresses what we all know: something is
wrong that we can’t quite fix. Thousands
of years later the Apostle Paul expanded on Qoheleth’s observations by plainly
stating just what is crooked and lacking.
