Ecclesiastes 2:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² Then I began to think again about being wise.
    And I thought also about being foolish and doing crazy things.
But after all, what more can any king do?
    He can only do what some other king has already done.
¹³ I saw that being wise is certainly better than being foolish,
    just as light is better than darkness.
¹⁴ A wise man sees where he is going.
    But a foolish person is like someone walking around in the dark.
Yet I saw that
    both the foolish person and the wise man end the same way.
