Eclesiastés 2

Catholic Public Domain Version

12I continued on, so as to contemplate wisdom, as well as error and foolishness. “What is man,” I said, “that he would be able to follow his Maker, the King?”

Reina-Valera 1909

12Después torné yo á mirar para ver la sabiduría y los desvaríos y la necedad; (porque ¿qué hombre hay que pueda seguir al rey en lo que ya hicieron?)

King James Version

12And 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.

World English Bible

12I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly; for what can the king’s successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.
