Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. What more can the king’s successor do than what has already been done?
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.
