Ecclesiastes 2:12-16
12And I turnedH6437 myself to behold wisdomH2451, and madnessH1947, and follyH5531; for what shall the manH120 [do] that cometh after the kingH4428? — that which hath alreadyH3528 been done.
13And I sawH7200 that wisdomH2451 excelleth follyH5531, as lightH216 excelleth darknessH2822.
14The wiseH2450 man's eyesH5869 are in his headH7218, and the foolH3684 walketh in darknessH2822; but I myself alsoH1571 perceived that oneH259 event happeneth to them all.
15And I saidH559 in my heartH3820, As it happeneth to the foolH3684 so will it happen even to me; and whyH4100 was I thenH227 so wiseH2449? ThenH227 I saidH559 in my heartH3820 that this alsoH1571 is vanityH1892.
16For there shall be no remembranceH2146 of the wiseH2450 more than of the foolH3684 for everH5769; because everythingH3605 is alreadyH3528 forgottenH7911 in the daysH3117 which comeH935. And howH349 dieth the wiseH2450 even as the foolH3684?
