The Futility of Wisdom and Folly

Ecclesiastes 2:12-17

And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but what is the man who cometh after the king? that which is already--they have done it!

And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.

The wise! --his eyes are in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all;

and I said in my heart, `As it happeneth with the fool, it happeneth also with me, and why am I then more wise?' And I spake in my heart, that also this is vanity:

That there is no remembrance to the wise--with the fool--to the age, for that which is already, in the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the fool!

And I have hated life, for sad to me is the work that hath been done under the sun, for the whole is vanity and vexation of spirit.
