전도서 2:14 미드라시: Kohelet Rabbah

Another matter: “The wise man, his eyes are in his head” (Ecclesiastes 2:14) – this is one who purchased wheat for three years; “but the fool walks in darkness” (Ecclesiastes 2:14) – this is one who purchased wheat for one year. “I also know…I said in my heart…” (Ecclesiastes 2:14–15); this one eats and that one eats. If so, “why did I become wiser?” Why did I pawn my vessels in the summer to acquire food? Then I said: “For there is no remembrance of the wise man with the fool forever…everything is forgotten.” Subsequently, a drought year may come, and this one will eat at a high price and that one will eat at a low price. That is what is written: “How can the wise man die like the fool?”
