Ecclesiastes 2:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 So I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had [a]exerted, and behold, all was (A)futility and striving after wind, and there was (B)no benefit under the sun.
Wisdom Surpasses Foolishness
12 So I turned to (C)consider wisdom, insanity, and foolishness; for what will the man do who will come after the king, except (D)what has already been done? 13 Then I saw that (E)wisdom surpasses foolishness as light surpasses darkness.
