Tree of Life Version
Ecclesiastes 2:14-18
14A wise man has his eyes in his head, while the fool walks in the darkness. Yet, I also came to realize that the same destiny befalls them both.
15Then said I in my heart: “I, even I, will have the same destiny as a fool. So why have I become so wise?” I said in my heart, “This too is meaningless.”
16For the wise man, together with the fool, is not remembered forever. For in the days to come both will be forgotten. Alas, the wise, just like the fool, must die!
17And so I hated life, because the work done under the sun was grievous to me. All is but vapor and chasing after the wind.
18I also hated all the fruit of my toil for which I had labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the one who comes after me.
