wisdom ... madness - that is, their effects, the works of human wisdom and folly respectively. “Madness,” literally, “vaunting extravagance”; Ecc 2:12; Ecc 7:25, etc., support English Version rather than Dathe, “splendid matters.” “Folly” is read by English Version with some manuscripts, instead of the present Hebrew text, “prudence.” If Hebrew be retained, understand “prudence,” falsely so called (1Ti 6:20), “craft” (Dan 8:25).
