OET (OET-RV) I saw that wisdom is to be preferred over folly,
⇔ just as light is to be preferred over darkness.

(Occurrence 0) wisdom has advantages over folly, just as light is better than darkness
(Some words not found in UHB: and,saw I that,there_is advantage to_the,wisdom from/more_than the,folly as,advantage_of the=light from/more_than the=darkness )
This speaks of how wisdom is better than folly by comparing it to how light is better than darkness.
2:12-23 The Teacher now looks at the value of wisdom (2:12-17) and hard work (2:18-23). These, too, are “meaningless” (2:17).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
