ESVEnglish Standard Version
See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.
Who is like the wise?
And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
A man’s wisdom makes his face shine,
and the hardness of his face is changed.

How wonderful to be wise,
to analyze and interpret things.

softening its harshness.
