Ecclesiastes 7:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³ I told myself that I would be smart and try to understand all this, but it was too much for me. ²⁴ The truth is beyond us. It's far too deep. ²⁵ So I decided to learn everything I could and become wise enough to discover what life is all about. At the same time, I wanted to understand why it's stupid and senseless to be an evil fool.
