Ecclesiastes 2:17-22

17So I hated life, for the work which had been done under the sun caused me only great sorrow; because all is futility and chasing after the wind.

18So I hated all the fruit (gain) of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will succeed me.

19And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the fruit of my labor for which I have labored by acting wisely under the sun. This too is vanity (futility, self-conceit).

20So I turned aside and let my heart despair over all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun.

21For there is a man who has labored with wisdom and knowledge and skill, yet gives his legacy to one who has not labored for it. This too is vanity and a great evil.

22For what does a man get from all his labor and from the striving and sorrow of his heart with which he labors under the sun?
