Ecclesiastes 2:10-12

New American Standard Bible

^10 (A)All that my eyes desired, I did not refuse them. I did not restrain my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor; and this was my ^(B)reward for all my labor. ¹¹ So I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had ^[a]exerted, and behold, all was ^(C)futility and striving after wind, and there was ^(D)no benefit under the sun.

Wisdom Surpasses Foolishness

¹² So I turned to ^(E)consider wisdom, insanity, and foolishness; for what will the man do who will come after the king, except ^(F)what has already been done?
