Strong's Number H5531 matches the Hebrew סִכְלוּת (siḵlûṯ),
which occurs 7 times in 7 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly; I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind.
I explored with my mind the pull of wine on my body — my mind still guiding me with wisdom — and how to grasp folly, until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven[fn] during the few days of their lives.
And I realized that there is an advantage to wisdom over folly, like the advantage of light over darkness.
I turned my thoughts to know, explore, and examine wisdom and an explanation for things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity and folly is madness.
Dead flies make a perfumer’s oil ferment and stink;
so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
