Ecclesiastes 2:14-16

Wise people see where they are going, but fools walk around in the dark. Yet I saw that both wise and foolish people end the same way. I thought to myself, “What happens to a fool will happen to me, too, so what is the reward for being wise?” I said to myself, “Being wise is also useless.” The wise person and the fool will both die, and no one will remember either one for long. In the future, both will be forgotten.
