我專我心、窮察智愚、祇徒勞焉。

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.

我又自思、我且飲酒以樂我身、心仍導以智慧、又執守愚拙、直至我得見人生在世、人生在世原文作人在天下終身行何事為美、

凡事省察、惟據於善、

不禁我目欲所欲者、不禁我心樂所樂者、蓋我思我既勞碌操作、我心享樂、宜也、此我由我一切勞碌所獲之分、厥後我觀我手所經營一切、及我所勞碌而得者、乃知皆屬於虛、皆如捕風、在日下毫無所益、○我轉觀智慧、狂妄、癡頑、我既為王、後我而來者能行何事乎、不過行所已行者、

我專心致志、以智慧考察窮究日下所作之事、乃知此為苦任、天主所畀於人、欲人因以自勞、我觀日下所作之事、皆屬於虛、皆如捕風、

我嘗以智慧察此諸事、意謂我欲得真見解、而離我甚遠、世間萬事、其理懸遠、深妙又深妙、誰能窮究、我轉而思之、專心欲得知識、欲究萬事、欲求智慧明哲、且欲知何為惡、何為愚、何為拙、何為狂、且欲知何為惡何為愚何為拙何為狂或作且欲知惡之為愚拙之為狂
