Ecclesiastes 2:11-13

Young's Literal Translation

¹¹ and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done, and on the labour that I have laboured to do, and lo, the whole [is] vanity and vexation of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun!

¹² And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but what [is] the man who cometh after the king? that which [is] already -- they have done it!

¹³ And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.
