Ecclesiastes 2:15KJV

Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 15 of 26

"Then 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."
Ecclesiastes 2:15

In context

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.

17Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun grievous unto me: for all vanity and vexation of spirit.
