Ecclesiastes2:13

Previous Verse Next Verse

Translation

I saw that wisdom is more advantageous and profitable

than folly,

just as the light is more advantageous and profitable

than the darkness.

Paraphrase

It was obvious from this that doing things the wise and godly way brings more advantage and personal gain than doing things in a spiritually deficient manner, in the same way that light affords us greater advantages and the opportunity to create profit more than does darkness.
