Ecclesiastes 2:9-13
Ecclesiastes 2:9
Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.
Ecclesiastes 2:10
All that my eyes desired, I did not refuse them. I did not restrain my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor; and this was my reward for all my labor.
Ecclesiastes 2:11
So I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had exerted, and behold, all was futility and striving after wind, and there was no benefit under the sun. Wisdom Surpasses Foolishness
Ecclesiastes 2:12
So I turned to consider wisdom, insanity, and foolishness; for what will the man do who will come after the king, except what has already been done?
Ecclesiastes 2:13
Then I saw that wisdom surpasses foolishness as light surpasses darkness.
