New King James Version
14 (A)The wise man’s eyes are in his head,
But the fool walks in darkness.
Yet I myself perceived

Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come.
And how does a wise man die?
As the fool!

while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both.(A)
