Ecclesiastes 2:15-17
English Standard Version
15 Then I said in my heart, (A)“What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?” And I said in my heart that this also is vanity. 16 For of the wise as of the fool there is (B)no enduring remembrance, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. (C)How the wise dies just like the fool! 17 So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me, for (D)all is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:15-17
King James Version
15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
