New Testament

Ecclesiastes 2:13-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. I saw that wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness.

14. The eyes of a wise man see things clearly. A person who is foolish lives in darkness. But I finally realized that death catches up with both of them.

15. Then I thought, "What happens to a foolish person will catch up with me too. So what do I gain by being wise?" I said to myself, "That doesn't have any meaning either."
