Ecclesiastes 2:13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ Then I saw that there is more profit in wisdom than in folly, as the light is more excellent than darkness.

¹⁴ For the wise man’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also know that the same condition befalls them all.

¹⁵ Then I thought in my heart, “What happens to me, happens to the fool. Therefore, why do I labor to be more wise?” And I said in my heart that this also is vanity.
