Targum Pengkhotbah 1:17: Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes

וָאֶתְּנָ֤ה לִבִּי֙ לָדַ֣עַת חָכְמָ֔ה וְדַ֥עַת הוֹלֵל֖וֹת וְשִׂכְל֑וּת יָדַ֕עְתִּי שֶׁגַּם־זֶ֥ה ה֖וּא רַעְי֥וֹן רֽוּחַ׃

Lalu aku mencurahkan hatiku untuk mengenal hikmat, serta mengenal kegilaan dan kebodohan; aku tahu bahwa ini pun kepedihan jiwa.

Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes

and I gave my heart to know wisdom, and the fear of the Kingdom, and knowledge and discretion, I know it by experience that even this is a breaking of the spirit to the man who is employed to find them out.
