Ecclesiastes 2:9

And I surpassed in riches all that were before me in Jerusalem: my wisdom also remained with me.

Wisdom, not that which was supernatural, and could not be found amid such delights, ver. 3., and James 3:17. I knew that all this was vanity. (Calmet) Video meliora proboque, Deteriora sequor. (Ovid) (Haydock)
