Ecclesiastes 2:14KJV
Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 14 of 26
"The 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."
In context
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.
16For no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise ? as the fool.
