Ecclesiastes 2:16
“A wise person and a foolish person have nothing in common, either in terms of human remembrance or in terms of divine recompense. As for human works, the end already overtakes them all while they still seem to be beginning. But a wise person never shares the same fate as a stupid person.”
Source: Septuagint
16For there is no remembrance of the wise man With the fool forever; Forasmuch as now in the coming days All things are forgotten: And how shall the wise man die with the fool?

14The wise man’s eyes are in his head; But the fool walks in darkness: And I perceived, even I, That one event shall happen to them all.
15And I said in my heart, As the event of the fool is, So shall it be to me, even to me; And to what purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also vanity, Because the fool speaks of his abundance.
— Ecclesiastes 2:16 —
17So I hated life; Because the work that was wrought under the sun Was evil before me: For all is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
18And I hated the whole of my labor Which I took under the sun; Because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.
