Ecclesiastes 2:14-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
14
The wise person’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that one
and the same
fate happens to both of them.
15
Then I said to myself, 'As is the fate of the fool, it will also happen to me. Why then have I been extremely wise?' So I said to myself, 'This too is futility.'
King James Version
Chapter 2
14
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.
15
Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
14
The wise person has eyes in his head,
but the fool walks in darkness.
Yet I also knew that one fate comes to them both.
15
So I said to myself, "What happens to the fool will also happen to me. Why then have I been overly wise?" And I said to myself that this is also futile.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
14
For the wise can see where they are going, but fools walk in the dark.' Yet I saw that the wise and the foolish share the same fate.
15
Both will die. So I said to myself, 'Since I will end up the same as the fool, what’s the value of all my wisdom? This is all so meaningless!'
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
14
The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them.
15
Then I said in my heart, "What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?" And I said in my heart that this also is vanity.
New International Version
Chapter 2
14
The wise have eyes in their heads,
while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both.
15
Then I said to myself,
"The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain by being wise?"
I said to myself,
"This too is meaningless."
New King James Version
Chapter 2
14
The wise man’s eyes
are
in his head,
But the fool walks in darkness.
Yet I myself perceived
That the same event happens to them all.
15
So I said in my heart,
“As it happens to the fool,
It also happens to me,
And why was I then more wise?”
Then I said in my heart,
“This also
is
vanity.”
