Ecclesiastes 2:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ But when I turned to look at all that I had accomplished and all the hard work I had put into it, I saw that it was all pointless. ⌞It was like⌟ trying to catch the wind. I gained nothing ⌞from any of my accomplishments⌟ under the sun.

Death Is the Common Destiny of All Life

¹² Then I turned ⌞my attention⌟ to experience wisdom, madness, and foolishness. For instance, what can the man who replaces the king do? Only what has already been done. ¹³ But I saw that wisdom has an advantage over foolishness as light has an advantage over darkness.
