Ecclesiastes 2:13-15
13Then I saw that 1wisdom surpasses foolishness as light surpasses darkness.
14The wise person’s eyes are in his head, but the 2fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that 3one and the same fate happens to 4both of them.
15Then I said 5to myself, “6As is the fate of the fool, it will also happen to me. 7Why then have I been extremely wise?” So 8I said to myself, “This too is futility.”
