Ecclesiastes 7:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

²³ All this I tested with wisdom. I said, “I will be wise,” but it was out of reach for me. ²⁴ What has already happened is out of reach, and deeper than deep. Who can find it?

²⁵ I turned my heart to know, to investigate, and to seek wisdom, and to find out how things fit together,^[a] and to know that wickedness is foolishness and stupidity is madness.
