Ecclesiastes 2:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ Wisdom is like having two good eyes; foolishness leaves you in the dark. But wise or foolish, we all end up the same.

¹⁵ Finally, I said to myself, “Being wise got me nowhere! The same thing will happen to me that happens to fools. Nothing makes sense. ¹⁶ Wise or foolish, we all die and are soon forgotten.”
