* And I turned to behold wisdom , and madness , and folly ; for what [can ] the man [do ] who comes after the king , when they have already done it ? * Then I saw that wisdom excels folly , as far as light excels darkness . * The wise man 's eyes [are ] in his head ; but the fool walks in darkness ; and I also knew that one event happens to all of them . * Then I said in my heart , As it happens to the fool , [so ] it happens even to me ; and why was I then more wise ? And I said in my heart that this also [is ] vanity . * For [there is ] no memory of the wise [more than ] of the fool forever , since that which is now shall all be forgotten in the days to come . And how does the wise die above the fool !
