Ecclesiastes 2:14-16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ The wise man’s eyes are in his head, but the ^(A)fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that the ^(B)fate of one becomes the fate of all of them. ¹⁵ Then I said in my heart, “^(C)As is the fate of the fool, so will my fate be also. ^(D)Why then have I been extremely wise?” So I said in my heart, “This too is vanity.” ¹⁶ For there is ^(E)no remembrance of the wise man along with the fool forever, inasmuch as in the coming days all will be forgotten. And ^(F)how the wise man dies with the fool!
