Komentarz do Koheleta 7:25
סַבּ֨וֹתִֽי אֲנִ֤י וְלִבִּי֙ לָדַ֣עַת וְלָת֔וּר וּבַקֵּ֥שׁ חָכְמָ֖ה וְחֶשְׁבּ֑וֹן וְלָדַ֙עַת֙ רֶ֣שַׁע כֶּ֔סֶל וְהַסִּכְל֖וּת הוֹלֵלֽוֹת׃
Zwróciłem się sercem mojem, by poznać i zbadać, poszukać mądrości i obrachunku wszystkiego; ale tylko aby poznać, że niegodziwość głupotą, a głupota szałem.
