Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 30. You shall seek to realize your idea of happiness, and find it to be a mistaken one and conjoined to folly: you may lead an outwardly moral and decorous life, but as it does not agree with your interior soul you will not be able to retain it: you may be in the possession of truth, but shall not possess the good of life to which it leads.
