Ecclesiastes:2:12-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus turned ,
I ,
to look at wisdom ,
and madness and folly ,
for what can the man that which ,
already ,
men have done .
*
Then saw ,
I ,
that wisdom doth excel folly ,
as far as light excelleth darkness .
*
As for the wise man ,
his eyes ,
are in his head ,
whereas ,
the dullard ,
in darkness ,
doth walk ,
but ,
I myself ,
knew that ,
one destiny ,
happeneth to them ,
all .
*
Then said ,
I ,
in my heart ,
As it happeneth to the dullard ,
even to me ,
will it happen ,
but wherefore ,
then ,
became ,
I ,
wise to excess ?
Therefore spake I ,
in my heart ,
Even this ,
is vanity .
*
For there is no remembrance of a wise man ,
more than of a dullard ,
unto times age-abiding ,
seeing that ,
already ,
in the days to come ,
all hath been forgotten ,
how then cometh it that the wise man dieth equally with the dullard ?
