Ecclesiastes 2:13-14

WYC

NIV

13 And I saw, that wisdom went so much before folly, as much as light is diverse from darknesses.
13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness.
14 The eyes of a wise man be in his head, (and) a fool goeth in darknesses; and I learned, that one perishing was of ever either. (The eyes of a wise person be in his head, and a fool goeth in the darkness; but I learned, that the same perishing, or the same death, would come to both of them.)
14 The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.
