Ecclesiastes 1:16
Douay-Rheims
I have spoken in my heart, saying: Behold I am become great, and have gone beyond all in wisdom, that were before me in Jerusalem: and my mind hath contemplated many things wisely, and I have learned.
Rashi
I spoke to myself Now that I have sunk from my greatness, I set my heart, saying, “Who would have said about me that I would come to such a state?” Look, I have acquired great wisdom, etc.
