Ecclesiastes 2:15-17

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁵ Then I said in my heart, “^(A)As is the fate of the fool, so will my fate be also. ^(B)Why then have I been extremely wise?” So I said in my heart, “This too is vanity.” ¹⁶ For there is ^(C)no remembrance of the wise man along with the fool forever, inasmuch as in the coming days all will be forgotten. And ^(D)how the wise man dies with the fool! ¹⁷ So I ^(E)hated life, for the work which had been done under the sun was ^[a]grievous to me; because everything is vanity and striving after wind.
