Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 13 of 26

"Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness."
Ecclesiastes 2:13

In context

11Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all vanity and vexation of spirit, and no profit under the sun.

12And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what the man that cometh after the king? that which hath been already done.

13Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

14The wise man's eyes in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.

15Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also vanity.
