Ecclesiastes 1:17

A haawi au i ko'u naau e ike i ka naauao, a e ike no hoi i ka uhauha, a me ka lapuwale; a ike iho la au, he mea luhi hewa ia.

Baibala Hemolele

In The King James Version

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