Ecclesiastes 1:17⥂
KJV:
And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
BSB:
So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind.
Hebrew:
וָאֶתְּנָ֤ה לִבִּי֙ לָדַ֣עַת חָכְמָ֔ה וְדַ֥עַת הוֹלֵל֖וֹת וְשִׂכְל֑וּת יָדַ֕עְתִּי שֶׁגַּם־ זֶ֥ה ה֖וּא רַעְי֥וֹן רֽוּחַ׃
