Ecclesiastes Chapter 2 Verses 12-14

Ecc 2:12  So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what has already been done.

Ecc 2:13  Then I saw that there is more gain in wisdom than in folly, as there is more gain in light than in darkness.

Ecc 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.
