Ecclesiastes 2:18-22

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. 19And who knoweth whether he will beH1961 a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet will he have rule over all my laborH5999 wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wiseH2450 under the sunH8121. This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892. 20Therefore I turnedH5437 about to cause my heartH3820 to despairH2976 concerning all the laborH5999 wherein I had labored under the sunH8121. 21For there is a manH120 whose laborH5999 is with wisdomH2451, and with knowledgeH1847, and with skilfulness; yet to a manH120 that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portionH2506. This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451. 22For what hath a manH120 of all his laborH5999, and of the striving of his heartH3820, wherein he laboreth under the sunH8121?
