Worthless
Out of all the treasures of heaven and earth
There is no treasure that I have found
To be more worthless than Knowledge
I have searched the earth far and wide
For all the knowledge that can be found
And I have found it worthless
It fills my soul with yearning
But delivers no satisfaction
It is like unto a stream of water
It is sweet unto those who lack it
But bitter to the stomachs of those who have drunken much
I have much knowledge
But it has not made me a penny richer
I have much knowledge
But I am still ignorant
Wisdom is the child of knowledge
I have found it worthless
