Ecclesiastes 2:14
| ← Ecclesiastes 2:13 | Ecclesiastes 2:14 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 2:15 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
|
Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also [is] vanity.
