Ecclesiastes 2:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

Death Is the Common Destiny of All Life

¹² Then I turned ⌞my attention⌟ to experience wisdom, madness, and foolishness. For instance, what can the man who replaces the king do? Only what has already been done. ¹³ But I saw that wisdom has an advantage over foolishness as light has an advantage over darkness. ¹⁴ A wise person uses the eyes in his head, but a fool walks in the dark. But I have also come to realize that the same destiny waits for both of them.
