我復專心以明智慧、而知狂妄愚蒙、乃覺亦屬捕風、

我專我心、窮察智愚、祇徒勞焉。

不如專心考辨、何為智慧、何為癡頑、何為愚蒙、乃知此亦如捕風、

Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.

Then I used my mind to understand what it really means to be wise. And I wanted to know what foolish pleasure is all about. But I found out that it’s also like chasing the wind.

And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind.

So I set out to learn everything from wisdom to madness and folly. But I learned firsthand that pursuing all this is like chasing the wind.

I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly; I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind.

And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know insanity and foolishness; I realized that this also is striving after wind.

And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.

And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also was a striving after wind.

I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly; I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind.

And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

So I decided to discern the benefit of wisdom and knowledge over foolish behavior and ideas; however, I concluded that even this endeavor is like trying to chase the wind!

於是，我決意用酒使自己快樂，在體驗愚昧的同時仍然保持理智，直到我明白在短暫的人生歲月中做何事才有益。

凡事都要小心察驗，持守良善的事，

凡我眼睛愛看的、心裡渴慕的，我都隨心所欲，盡情享受。我的心從勞碌中得到歡樂，這是我勞碌所得的回報。然而，當我回顧雙手辛勤經營的一切成就時，唉，卻發現都是虛空，都是捕風；日光之下的一切都毫無益處。於是，我轉念思考什麼是智慧、狂妄和愚昧。其實以後接替君王的人除了重演歷史之外，還能做什麼呢？

我專心用智慧去研究、探索天下各樣的事，發現上帝給世人的是極重的苦工。我觀察一切日光之下所做的事，看啊，都是虛空，好像捕風。

我用智慧試驗過這一切。我說：「我要做智者」，誰知智慧卻離我甚遠。智慧如此遙不可及、深不可測，誰能找得到呢？我用心去認識、探究、追尋智慧和事物的原委，並去認識邪惡帶來的愚昧和無知帶來的狂妄。
