Ecclesiastes 2:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Wise people can see where they are going.
    Foolish people walk in the dark.
But at the end of their lives, there is no difference.
    They both die.
¹⁵ Then I thought, ‘I will also die, as foolish people do.
    So what value have I received from my great wisdom?’
I said to myself, ‘Wisdom too has no purpose.’
¹⁶ People forget about wise people
    as quickly as they forget about fools.
One day, nobody will remember any of them.
    It is true! As fools all have to die, wise people will also die.
