Kohelet 7:23-25

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²³ I tested all this with chochmah; I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

²⁴ That which is far off, and exceeding deep, whose chochmah can find it out?

²⁵ I applied mine lev to have da’as, and to search, and to seek out chochmah, and the cheshbon (scheme, plan) of things, and to have da’as of resha (wickedness) of kesel (stupidity), even of sichlut (folly) and holelot (madness).
