Ecclesiastes 2:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ Thus I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had ^[a]exerted, and behold all was ^[b](A)vanity and striving after wind and there was ^(B)no profit under the sun.

Wisdom Excels Folly

¹² So I turned to ^(C)consider wisdom, madness and folly; for what will the man do who will come after the king except ^(D)what has already been done? ¹³ And I saw that ^(E)wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.
