Original Douay–Rheims AnnotationsEcclesiastes 1

In much wisdom is much indignation.

^◦ How much more any man profiteth in wisdom, so much more he is angry with himself, for the evils which he hath done: so much better he knoweth the strict judgement of God, which he must pass: so much more he understandeth the want of perfect wisdom: so much more he seeth that labour is required to proceed in virtue: and to conserve that small portion which he hath gotten. Neither is any man ordinarily assured that he hath gotten any part of true wisdom; for he knoweth not whether he be worthy of love or hate. Eccl. 9.

• ◦ Wisdom maketh men to be angry with sin, to serve God, and to proceed in virtue.
