Kohelet 2:13-15

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹³ Then I saw that chochmah excelleth sichlut, as far as ohr excelleth choshech.

¹⁴ The chacham (wise man) hath eyes in his rosh; but the kesil (fool) walketh in choshech; but I myself perceived also that the same mikreh (fortune) happeneth to them all.

¹⁵ Then said I in my lev, As the mikreh befalls the kesil, so also will the same mikreh befall me; and wherein have I then been of more chochmah? Then I said in my lev, This also is hevel.
