Ecclesiastes 2:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ Then I thought about everything I had done, including the hard work, and it was simply chasing the wind.^[a] Nothing on earth is worth the trouble.

Wisdom Comes from God

¹² I asked myself, “What can the next king do that I haven't done?” Then I decided to compare wisdom with foolishness and stupidity. ¹³ And I discovered that wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness.
