Ecclesiastes 2:13-15
Legacy Standard Bible
13 And I saw that there is an advantage in (A)wisdom over simpleminded folly as light has an advantage over darkness. 14 The wise man’s eyes are in his head, but the (B)fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that the (C)fate of one becomes the fate of all of them. 15 Then I said in my heart, “(D)As is the fate of the fool, so will my fate be also. (E)Why then have I been extremely wise?” So I said in my heart, “This too is vanity.”

Ecclesiastes 2:13-15
New International Version
13 I saw that wisdom(A) is better than folly,(B)
just as light is better than darkness.
14 The wise have eyes in their heads,
while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both.(C)
15 Then I said to myself,
“The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain by being wise?”(D)
I said to myself,
“This too is meaningless.”
