Ecclesiastes 2:13

β€œThen I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.”

Verse in context β€” Ecclesiastes 2

11

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit, and [there was] no profit under the sun.

12

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king? [even] that which hath been already done.

13

Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

14

The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.

15

Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also [is] vanity.
