傳道書 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 7:25

I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out
wisdom
Or, "I and my heart turned about" F8; took a circuit, a tour throughout the whole compass of things; looked into every corner, and went through the circle of knowledge, in order to search and find out what true wisdom is; which is no other than Christ, and a spiritual knowledge of him; a variety of words is used to express his eager desire after wisdom, and the diligent search he made, from which he was not discouraged by the difficulties he met with; see ( Ecclesiastes 1:13 ) ; and the reason [of things];
either in nature or providence: or the estimation F9 of them; the excellency of them, how much they are to be accounted of, esteemed, and valued; as Christ, the Wisdom of God, and all things relating to him, should; and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness [and]
madness;
the exceeding sinfulness of sin, the folly and madness that are in it; sin is the effect of folly, and the excess of it, and a spiritual madness; it is true of all sin in general, but especially of the sin of uncleanness, which Solomon seems to have in view by what follows; see ( Ecclesiastes 1:17 ) ( 2:12 ) ; and may chiefly intend the wickedness of his own folly, and the foolishness of his own madness.

傳道書 7:25 In-Context

23 我 曾 用 智 慧 試 驗 這 一 切 事 ; 我 說 , 要 得 智 慧 , 智 慧 卻 離 我 遠 。
24 萬 事 之 理 , 離 我 甚 遠 , 而 且 最 深 , 誰 能 測 透 呢 ?
25 我 轉 念 , 一 心 要 知 道 , 要 考 察 , 要 尋 求 智 慧 和 萬 事 的 理 由 ; 又 要 知 道 邪 惡 為 愚 昧 , 愚 昧 為 狂 妄 。
26 我 得 知 有 等 婦 人 比 死 還 苦 : 他 的 心 是 網 羅 , 手 是 鎖 鍊 。 凡 蒙   神 喜 悅 的 人 必 能 躲 避 他 ; 有 罪 的 人 卻 被 他 纏 住 了 。
27 傳 道 者 說 : 看 哪 , 一 千 男 子 中 , 我 找 到 一 個 正 直 人 , 但 眾 女 子 中 , 沒 有 找 到 一 個 。 我 將 這 事 一 一 比 較 , 要 尋 求 其 理 , 我 心 仍 要 尋 找 , 卻 未 曾 找 到 。
