I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

I turned about, and my heart was set to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason of things, and to know that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness.

Ich wandte mich, und mein Herz ging darauf aus, Weisheit und ein richtiges Urteil zu erkennen und zu erkunden und zu suchen, und zu erkennen, daß die Gesetzlosigkeit Torheit ist, und die Narrheit Tollheit.

Yo he rodeado con mi corazón por saber, y examinar, é inquirir la sabiduría, y la razón; y por conocer la maldad de la insensatez, y el desvarío del error;

Decidi em meu coração conhecer, investigar e buscar a sabedoria e a razão; e saber o mal que há na tolice e na loucura das maluquices.

Voltei meu coração para aprender, examinar e buscar sabedoria e explicações da realidade, para entender que o mal é estúpido e que a tolice é loucura.
