14The wise man has eyes in his head, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.
11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.

13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness.
14 The wise man has eyes in his head, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.
15 Then I thought in my heart, "The fate of the fool will overtake me also. What then do I gain by being wise?" I said in my heart, "This too is meaningless."
16 For the wise man, like the fool, will not be long remembered; in days to come both will be forgotten. Like the fool, the wise man too must die!

2:14The 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.
2:14The wise! — his eyes are in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all;
