Ecclesiastes 2:14

The Living Must Abandon The Work Of Their Hands To Others At Death

¹³ And I realized that there is an advantage to wisdom over folly, like the advantage of light over darkness. ¹⁴ 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. ¹⁵ So I said to myself, “What happens to the fool will also happen to me. Why then have I been overly wise?” And I said to myself that this is also futile.
