    just as light is ·better [more profitable] than darkness.

    both wise and foolish ·people end the same way [L have the same fate; C death].

15 I ·thought to myself [L said in my heart],
“·What happens to a fool will happen to me [L The fate of the fool is my fate], too,
    so ·what is the reward for being [L why have I become so] wise?”
I said to myself,
    “·Being wise [L This] is also useless [1:2].”
