Ecclesiastes 2:11-13

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ So I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had ^[a]exerted, and behold, all was ^(A)futility and striving after wind, and there was ^(B)no benefit under the sun.

Wisdom Surpasses Foolishness

¹² So I turned to ^(C)consider wisdom, insanity, and foolishness; for what will the man do who will come after the king, except ^(D)what has already been done? ¹³ Then I saw that ^(E)wisdom surpasses foolishness as light surpasses darkness.
