Ecclesiastes 7:25-27

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁵ All this I have tested by wisdom. I thought, “I will be wise,” but it went far from me.

²⁶ It is far off. What may it be? It is profoundly deep. Who can find it?

²⁷ I have applied my heart to know and to inquire and to search wisdom and reason and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness of madness.
