Ecclesiastes 2:11-13
11Thus I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had 1exerted, and behold all was 23vanity and striving after wind and there was 4no profit under the sun.
12So I turned to 5consider wisdom, madness and folly; for what will the man do who will come after the king except 6what has already been done? 13And I saw that 7wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.
