KJV ¹² And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.

VULC ¹² [Transivi ad contemplandam sapientiam,
erroresque, et stultitiam.
(Quid est, inquam, homo,
ut sequi possit regem, factorem suum ?)

WLC ¹² וּפָנִ֤יתִֽי אֲנִי֙ לִרְא֣וֹת חָכְמָ֔ה וְהוֹלֵל֖וֹת וְסִכְל֑וּת כִּ֣י ׀ מֶ֣ה הָאָדָ֗ם שֶׁיָּבוֹא֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־ כְּבָ֖ר עָשֽׂוּהוּ׃

KJV ¹³ Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

VULC ¹³ Et vidi quod tantum præcederet sapientia stultitiam,
quantum differt lux a tenebris.

WLC ¹³ וְרָאִ֣יתִי אָ֔נִי שֶׁיֵּ֥שׁ יִתְר֛וֹן לַֽחָכְמָ֖ה מִן־ הַסִּכְל֑וּת כִּֽיתְר֥וֹן הָא֖וֹר מִן־ הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃

KJV ¹⁴ 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.

VULC ¹⁴ Sapientis oculi in capite ejus ;
stultus in tenebris ambulat :
et didici quod unus utriusque esset interitus.

WLC ¹⁴ הֶֽחָכָם֙ עֵינָ֣יו בְּרֹאשׁ֔וֹ וְהַכְּסִ֖יל בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ הוֹלֵ֑ךְ וְיָדַ֣עְתִּי גַם־ אָ֔נִי שֶׁמִּקְרֶ֥ה אֶחָ֖ד יִקְרֶ֥ה אֶת־ כֻּלָּֽם׃

KJV ¹⁵ Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.

VULC ¹⁵ Et dixi in corde meo :
Si unus et stulti et meus occasus erit,
quid mihi prodest quod majorem sapientiæ dedi operam ?
Locutusque cum mente mea,
animadverti quod hoc quoque esset vanitas.

WLC ¹⁵ וְאָמַ֨רְתִּֽי אֲנִ֜י בְּלִבִּ֗י כְּמִקְרֵ֤ה הַכְּסִיל֙ גַּם־ אֲנִ֣י יִקְרֵ֔נִי וְלָ֧מָּה חָכַ֛מְתִּי אֲנִ֖י אָ֣ז יוֹתֵ֑ר וְדִבַּ֣רְתִּי בְלִבִּ֔י שֶׁגַּם־ זֶ֖ה הָֽבֶל׃

KJV ¹⁶ For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

VULC ¹⁶ Non enim erit memoria sapientis similiter ut stulti in perpetuum,
et futura tempora oblivione cuncta pariter operient :
moritur doctus similiter ut indoctus.

WLC ¹⁶ כִּי֩ אֵ֨ין זִכְר֧וֹן לֶחָכָ֛ם עִֽם־ הַכְּסִ֖יל לְעוֹלָ֑ם בְּשֶׁכְּבָ֞ר הַיָּמִ֤ים הַבָּאִים֙ הַכֹּ֣ל נִשְׁכָּ֔ח וְאֵ֛יךְ יָמ֥וּת הֶחָכָ֖ם עִֽם־ הַכְּסִֽיל׃
