Ecclesiastes 2:15

13 Then I saw that wisdom ^aexcels folly
As light excels darkness.

14 ^aThe wise man’s eyes are in his head,
But the fool walks in darkness.
Yet I myself perceived
That ^bthe same event happens to them all.

15 So I said in my heart,
“As it happens to the fool,
It also happens to me,
And why was I then more wise?”
Then I said in my heart,
“This also is vanity.”

16 For there is ^ano more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever,
Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come.
And how does a wise man die?
As the fool!

17 Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
