Ecclesiastes 7:23-25

Legacy Standard Bible

²³ I tested all this with wisdom, and I said, “I will be wise,” ^(A)but it was far from me. ²⁴ What has been is far away and ^(B)exceedingly deep. ^(C)Who can find it? ²⁵ I ^(D)turned my heart to know, to explore, and to seek wisdom and an explanation, and to know the wickedness of foolishness and the simpleminded folly of madness.
