Ecclesiastes 2:14-18 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

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!

17. And I have hated life, for sad to me [is] the work that hath been done under the sun, for the whole [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

18. And I have hated all my labour that I labour at under the sun, because I leave it to a man who is after me.
