Ecclesiastes 7:25
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
I applied mine heart (note: Heb. I and mine heart compassed) to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
I directed my mind to understand, to explore, to search out wisdom and explanations, and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the folly of madness.
