Midrash sur L’Ecclésiaste 1:18
כִּ֛י בְּרֹ֥ב חָכְמָ֖ה רָב־כָּ֑עַס וְיוֹסִ֥יף דַּ֖עַת יוֹסִ֥יף מַכְאֽוֹב׃
car, abondance de sagesse, abondance de chagrin, et accroître sa science, c’est accroître sa peine.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
R. Acha b. Chanina said: "Had not Israel committed any crimes, they would have had no other Scriptures than the five books of the Torah (the law) and the book of Joshua, [which last is indispensable,] because therein is recorded how the land was distributed among Israel, [but the remainder was added,] as it is said (Ecc. 1, 18) Since there is much wisdom [of all the prophetic books,] there is a sign that it occasioned much vexation."
