So I turned to see wisdom, madness, and simpleminded folly. What will the man do who will come after the king except what has already been done?
And I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and simpleminded folly; I came to know that this also is striving after wind.
That which is has been already and that which will be has already been, yet God seeks what is pursued.
I 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.
