13 And I saw there is profit to wisdom more than to folly, as the excellence of the light above darkness.

14 The wise, his eyes in his head; and the foolish one goes in darkness: and I knew, I also, that one event will meet with them all.

15 And I said in my heart, As the event of the foolish one, also I, it will meet me; and wherefore then was I more wise? And I spake in my heart, This is also vanity.

16 For no remembrance for the wise with the foolish one forever, since in the days coming, all being forgotten. And how will the wise die? with the foolish one.
