Ecclesiastes 2:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ So I said in my heart, “The same fate that meets the fool will also meet me. So why then have I been overly wise?” So I said in my heart, “This too is just vapor.”

¹⁶ No one will remember the wise man or the fool for long. In days to come, all of them will already be forgotten. How does the wise man die? Just like the fool. ¹⁷ So I hated life, because the work done under the sun was so frustrating for me, because everything is vapor and chasing the wind.
