13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness.
14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
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.
