NASB
"And I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness."
— Ecclesiastes 2:13, NASB
“Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.”
“Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. ”
“Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.”
“I realized that wisdom is preferable to folly, just as light is preferable to darkness:”
“And I saw that wisdom excelled folly, as much as light differeth from darkness.”
“Then I saw that wisdom is better than foolish ways--as the light is better than the dark.”
“Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.”
All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward for all my labor.
Thus I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had exerted, and behold all was vanity and striving after wind and there was no profit under the sun.
So I turned to consider wisdom, madness and folly; for what will the man do who will come after the king except what has already been done?
And I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.
The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that one fate befalls them both.
Then I said to myself, "As is the fate of the fool, it will also befall me. Why then have I been extremely wise?" So I said to myself, "This too is vanity."
For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise man as with the fool, inasmuch as in the coming days all will be forgotten. And how the wise man and the fool alike die!
