Ecclesiastes 2:14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ For the wise man’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also know that the same condition befalls them all.

¹⁵ Then I thought in my heart, “What happens to me, happens to the fool. Therefore, why do I labor to be more wise?” And I said in my heart that this also is vanity.

¹⁶ For there shall be no remembrance of either the wise or the fool, forever. For in the days to come, what now is shall all be forgotten. And how does the wise man die? Just as the fool!
