§ 02 · King James Bible

Ecclesiastes 2:16

For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

Simple English

There's no difference between the memory of a wise person and a fool in the long run, because everything in the present will eventually be forgotten. Both the wise and the foolish ultimately meet the same end.
