Ecclesiastes 2:13-15
New International Reader's Version

13 I saw that wisdom is better than foolishness,
    just as light is better than darkness.
14 The eyes of a wise person see things clearly.
    A person who is foolish lives in darkness.
But I finally realized that death catches up
    with both of them.

15 Then I said to myself,

“What happens to a foolish person will catch up with me too.
    So what do I gain by being wise?”
I said to myself,
    “That doesn’t have any meaning either.”
