• Ecclesiastes 2:1-3
  I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure”; but surely, this also was vanity. I said of laughter—“Madness!”; and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?” I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.
   
• Ecclesiastes 2:12-13
  Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly;
  For what can the man do who succeeds the king?—
  Only what he has already done.
  Then I saw that wisdom excels folly
  As light excels darkness.
  
   
• Proverbs 29:18
  Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
  But happy is he who keeps the law.
  
   
• Ecclesiastes 7:25
  I applied my heart to know,
  To search and seek out wisdom and the reason of things,
  To know the wickedness of folly,
  Even of foolishness and madness.
