Ecclesiastes 2:15-18

15ThenH227 saidH559 I in my heartH3820, As it happeneth to the foolH3684, so will it happen even to me; and whyH4100 was I thenH227 more wiseH2449? ThenH227 saidH559 I in my heartH3820, that this alsoH1571 is vanityH1892. 16For of the wiseH2450 man, even as of the foolH3684, there is no remembranceH2146 for everH5769; seeing that in the daysH3117 to comeH935 all will have been long forgottenH7911. And howH349 doth the wiseH2450 man dieH4191 even as the foolH3684! 17So I hatedH8130 lifeH2416, because the workH4639 that is wrought under the sunH8121 was grievous unto me; for all is vanityH1892 and a striving after windH7307.

18And I hatedH8130 all my laborH5999 wherein I labored under the sunH8121, seeing that I must leave it unto the manH120 that shall beH1961 after me.
