Ecclesiastes 2:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ I concluded that wisdom is more useful than foolishness, just as light is more useful than darkness. ¹⁴ The wise use their eyes, but the fool walks in darkness. I also perceived that the same outcome affects them all.

¹⁵ Then I told myself, “Whatever happens to the fool will happen also to me. Therefore what’s the point in being so wise?” And I told myself that this also is pointless.
