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

Verse in context β€” Ecclesiastes 2

11

Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

13

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

14

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness--and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

15

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