13 And I sawe that wisdome excelleth foolishnesse, as farre as light doth darknesse. 14 For a wise man hath his eyes in his head, but the foole goeth in darknesse: I perceaued also that they both had one ende. 15 Then thought I in my mynde, yf it happen vnto the foole as it doth vnto me, what needeth me then to labour any more for wisdome? So I confessed within my heart that this also was but vanitie. 16 For the wise are euer as litle in remembraunce as the foolishe: for the dayes shall come when all shalbe forgotten: yea the wise man dyeth as well as the foole.
