Ecclesiastes 2:13 in the King James Version
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
Context
12 I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly; for what can the king’s successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.
13 Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
14 The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness—and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.
