American King James Version
"The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happens to them all. "
— Ecclesiastes 2:14, American King James Version
“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.”
“The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all. ”
“The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness--and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.”
“The wise man can see where he is going, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also realized that the same fate happens to them both.”
“The eyes of a wise man are in his head: the fool walketh in darkness: and I learned that they were to die both alike.”
“The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the foolish man goes walking in the dark; but still I saw that the same event comes to them all.”
“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.”
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had worked, and on the labor that I had labored to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. ¶
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that comes after the king? even that which has been already done.
Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happens to them all.
Then said I in my heart, As it happens to the fool, so it happens even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dies the wise man? as the fool.
Therefore I hated life; because the work that is worked under the sun is grievous to me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. ¶
