TSK · Ecclesiastes 2:14

For he seeth that wyse men dye: and that the foole and ignoraunt perishe together, and leaue their riches for other.

The wisdome of the circumspect man, is to vnderstande his way: but the foolishnesse of the vnwise, deceaueth.

For it happeneth vnto men as it doth vnto beastes, euen one condition vnto them both: as the one dyeth so dyeth the other, yea they haue both one maner of breath: so that in this a man hath no preeminence aboue a beast, but are all subdued vnto vanitie.

For what hath the wise more then the foole? What helpeth it the poore that he knoweth to walke with fooles before the lyuyng?

Who is wise? who hath knowledge to make an aunswere? A mans wysdome maketh his face to shine: but vnshamefastnes putteth it out of fauour.

It happeneth vnto one as vnto another, it goeth with the righteous as with the vngodly, with the good and cleane, as with the vncleane, with hym that offereth, as with him that offereth not: like as it goeth with the vertuous, so goeth it also with the sinner: as it happeneth vnto the pariured, so happeneth it also to hym that is afrayde to be forsworne.

So I turned me vnto other thinges vnder the sunne, & I sawe that in running it helpeth not to be swift, in battell it helpeth not to be strong, to feeding it helpeth not to be wyse, to riches it helpeth not to be a man of muche vnderstanding, to be had in fauour it helpeth not to be cunning: but that all lieth in tyme and fortune.

A wyse mans heart is vpon his right hande, but a fooles heart vpon his left.
