Ecclesiastes 2:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ And I discovered that wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness. ¹⁴ Wisdom is like having two good eyes; foolishness leaves you in the dark. But wise or foolish, we all end up the same.

¹⁵ Finally, I said to myself, “Being wise got me nowhere! The same thing will happen to me that happens to fools. Nothing makes sense.
