Ecclesiastes 2:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² Next I turned to examine wisdom, insanity, and foolishness, because what can a person do who succeeds the king except what has already been accomplished? ¹³ I concluded that wisdom is more useful than foolishness, just as light is more useful than darkness. ¹⁴ The wise use their eyes, but the fool walks in darkness. I also perceived that the same outcome affects them all.
