The wise man can see where he is going, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also realized that the same fate happens to them both.

智者凡事目明、愚者行於幽暗、然亦知智者愚者所遇、無以異也、

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all.

The wise man has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also knew that one fate comes to them both.

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.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness— and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

Wisdom is directly in front of the discerning person, but the eyes of a fool run to the ends of the earth.

Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.

Again, I observed this on the earth: the race is not always won by the swiftest, the battle is not always won by the strongest; prosperity does not always belong to those who are the wisest, wealth does not always belong to those who are the most discerning, nor does success always come to those with the most knowledge– for time and chance may overcome them all.

For the fate of humans and the fate of animals are the same: As one dies, so dies the other; both have the same breath. There is no advantage for humans over animals, for both are fleeting.

So I reflected on all this, attempting to clear it all up. I concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their works, are in the hand of God; whether a person will be loved or hated– no one knows what lies ahead.Everyone shares the same fate– the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the ceremonially clean and unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. What happens to the good person, also happens to the sinner; what happens to those who make vows, also happens to those who are afraid to make vows.This is the unfortunate fact about everything that happens on earth: the same fate awaits everyone. In addition to this, the hearts of all people are full of evil, and there is folly in their hearts during their lives– then they die.

They are of greater value than gold, than even a great amount of pure gold; they bring greater delight than honey, than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb.

So I concluded that wisdom is better than might, but a poor man’s wisdom is despised; no one ever listens to his advice.

if he should live a thousand years twice, yet does not enjoy his prosperity. For both of them die!

The wisdom of the shrewd person is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deception.

It is better to go to a funeral than a feast. For death is the destiny of every person, and the living should take this to heart.

Who is a wise person? Who knows the solution to a problem? A person’s wisdom brightens his appearance, and softens his harsh countenance.

A wise person’s good sense protects him, but a fool’s lack of sense leaves him vulnerable.Even when a fool walks along the road he lacks sense, and shows everyone what a fool he is.
