Ecclesiastes 7:23-29 - Absolute Wisdom Is Unattainable
23 All this I have proved by wisdom; I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. 24 That which is far off and exceedingly deep, who can find it out? 25 I set my 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; 26 and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands like bands. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her. 27 Behold, this I have found, says the Preacher, counting one by one, to find out the sum, 28 which my soul still sought, but I find not: one man among a thousand I have found, but a woman among all those I have not found. 29 Lo, this only I have found, that God has made man upright, but they have sought out many inventions.
