2:12. ഞാൻ ജ്ഞാനവും ഭ്രാന്തും ഭോഷത്വവും നോക്കുവാൻ തിരിഞ്ഞു; രാജാവിന്റെ ശേഷം വരുന്ന മനുഷ്യൻ എന്തു ചെയ്യും? പണ്ടു ചെയ്തതു തന്നേ.

2:12. So I decided to compare wisdom with foolishness and madness (for who can do this better than I, the king?).

2:12. Then I decided to think about what it means to be wise or to be foolish or to do crazy things. And I thought about the one who will be the next king. The new king will do the same as the kings before him.

2:12. I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly: for what can the king\'s successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.

2:12. And I H589 turned H6437 myself to behold H7200 wisdom, H2451 and madness, H1947 and folly: H5531 for H3588 what H4100 [can] the man H120 [do] that cometh H7945 H935 after H310 the king H4428 ? [even] H853 that which H834 hath been already H3528 done. H6213
