Ecclesiastes 7:23-25

Rotherham(i) 23 All this, have I proved by wisdom,––I said, I will be wise, but, that, was far from me. 24 Far away, is that which hath been,––and deep, deep, who can find it out? 25 Resolved, I, in my heart, to know and search out, and to seek wisdom, and a conclusion,––and to know lawlessness [to be] stupidity, and folly to be madness.
