Ecclesiastes 2:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

¹³ I realized that it is better to be wise than foolish.
    In the same way, the light is better than the dark.
¹⁴ Wise people can see where they are going.
    Foolish people walk in the dark.
But at the end of their lives, there is no difference.
    They both die.
¹⁵ Then I thought, ‘I will also die, as foolish people do.
    So what value have I received from my great wisdom?’
I said to myself, ‘Wisdom too has no purpose.’
