Ecclesiastes 2:13
| ← Ecclesiastes 2:12 | Ecclesiastes 2:13 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 2:14 → |
|---|---|---|
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king? [even] that which hath been already done.
|
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
|
The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
