applied <ECC7 -25> I {applied} mine heart to know, and to search,

and to seek out wisdom, and the reason [of things], and to know

the

wickedness of folly, even of foolishness [and] madness:

applied <ECC8 -9> All this have I seen, and {applied} my heart

unto

every work that is done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein

one

man ruleth over another to his own hurt.

applied <ECC8 -16> When I {applied} mine heart to know wisdom,

and

to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also

[there is

that] neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)
