12I passed further to behold wisdom, and errors and folly, (What is man, said I that he can follow the King his maker?)

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.
