Ecclesiastes 7:23-25

International Standard Version

I said, “I want to be wise,”
    but it was beyond me.
²⁴ Whatever it is,
    it’s far off and most profound.
        Who can attain it?
²⁵ I committed myself to understand,
        to learn, to search for wisdom and explanations,
and to understand both the evil that is foolishness
    and the stupidity that is delusion.
