Ecclesiastes 2:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ Then I thought, ‘I will also die, as foolish people do.
    So what value have I received from my great wisdom?’
I said to myself, ‘Wisdom too has no purpose.’
¹⁶ People forget about wise people
    as quickly as they forget about fools.
One day, nobody will remember any of them.
    It is true! As fools all have to die, wise people will also die.
