Ecclesiastes 2:12
Then I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what more can the king’s successor do than what has already been accomplished?
And 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.
Note even…: or, in those things which have been already done
I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly; for what can the king’s successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.
And 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 done long ago.
