Ecclesiastes 2:14-15
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 2:14-15
New International Version
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.(A)
15 Then I said to myself,
“The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain by being wise?”(B)
I said to myself,
“This too is meaningless.”
Ecclesiastes 2:14-15
King James Version
Ecclesiastes 2:14-15
King James Version
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.
15 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 is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 2:14-15
New King James Version
14 (A)The wise man’s eyes are in his head,
But the fool walks in darkness.
Yet I myself perceived
That (B)the same event happens to them all.
15 So I said in my heart,
“As it happens to the fool,
It also happens to me,
And why was I then more wise?”
Then I said in my heart,
“This also is vanity.”
