Ecclesiastes 7:23

All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

All this have I proved in wisdom. I said, "I will be wise;" but it was far from me.

All this have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, `I am wise,' and it `is' far from me.

All this I tested by wisdom, saying, “I resolve to be wise.” But it was beyond me.
