Ecclesiastes 2:13-17

¹³And I saw that wisdom excels folly, as much as light excels darkness.

¹⁴The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I perceived, even I, that one event shall happen to them all.

¹⁵And I said in my heart, As the event of the fool is, so shall it be to me, even to me; and to what purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also vanity, because the fool speaks of his abundance.

¹⁶For there is no remembrance of the wise man with the fool for ever; forasmuch as now in the coming days all things are forgotten: and how shall the wise man die with the fool?

¹⁷So I hated life; because the work that was wrought under the sun was evil before me: for all is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
