12. And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can a man do that comes after the king? even that which has been already done.
13. Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
14. The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one fate happens to them all.
15. 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.
