13 Then I saw that wisdom excels folly

As light excels darkness.

just as light is better than darkness.

13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

13 And I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as light excelleth darkness.

13 But I saw that wisdom has an advantage over foolishness as light has an advantage over darkness.

13 And I realized that there is an advantage to wisdom over folly, like the advantage of light over darkness.

13 Then I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.

13 I realized that wisdom has an advantage over folly, just as light has an advantage over darkness.
