Ecc 7:22  For you also have realized that you likewise have many times cursed others.

Ecc 7:23  I tested all this with wisdom, and I said, "I will be wise," but it was far from me.

Ecc 7:24  What has been is remote and exceedingly mysterious. Who can discover it?

Ecc 7:25  I directed my mind to know, to investigate and to seek wisdom and an explanation, and to know the evil of folly and the foolishness of madness.
