13 And I saw that wisdom surpasses foolishness, so much so that they differ as much as light from darkness. 14 The eyes of a wise man are in his head. A foolish man walks in darkness. Yet I learned that one would pass away like the other. 15 And I said in my heart: “If the death of both the foolish and myself will be one, how does it benefit me, if I have given myself more thoroughly to the work of wisdom?” And as I was speaking within my own mind, I perceived that this, too, is emptiness. 16 For there will not be a remembrance in perpetuity of the wise, nor of the foolish. And the future times will cover everything together, with oblivion. The learned die in a manner similar to the unlearned. Ecclesiastes 2:13-16, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
