12 And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but what 'is' the man who cometh after the king? that which 'is' already -- they have done it!
13 And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.
14 The wise! -- his eyes 'are' in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all;
15 and I said in my heart, 'As it happeneth with the fool, it happeneth also with me, and why am I then more wise?' And I spake in my heart, that also this 'is' vanity:
16 That there is no remembrance to the wise -- with the fool -- to the age, for that which 'is' already, 'in' the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the fool!
