Ecclesiastes 2:18-26

18IH589 hatedH8130 allH3605 for whichH589 I had toiledH5999H6001 underH8478 the sunH8121, because I must leave itH5117 to the manH120 who comesH1961 after meH310. 19And whoH4310 knowsH3045 whether that man will beH1961 wiseH2450 orH176 foolishH5530? Yet he will takeH7980 over allH3605 the laborH5999 at which I have workedH5998 skillfullyH2449 underH8478 the sunH8121. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892.

20SoH589 my heartH3820 beganH5437 to despairH2976 overH5921 allH3605 the laborH5999 that I had doneH5998 underH8478 the sunH8121. 21WhenH3588 there isH3426 a manH120 who has laboredH5999 with wisdomH2451, knowledgeH1847, and skillH3788, and he must giveH5414 his portionH2506 to a manH120 who has notH3808 workedH5998 for it, thisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451. 22ForH3588 whatH4100 does a manH120 getH1933 for allH3605 the toilH5999 and strivingH7475 with whichH1931 he laborsH6001 underH8478 the sunH8121? 23IndeedH3588, allH3605 his daysH3117 are filled with griefH4341, and his taskH6045 is sorrowfulH3708; evenH1571 at nightH3915, his mindH3820 does notH3808 restH7901. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892H1931.

24NothingH369 is betterH2896 for a manH120 than to eatH398 and drinkH8354 and enjoyH7200 his workH5999. IH589 have alsoH1571 seenH7200 thatH3588 thisH2090 is from the handH3027 of GodH430. 25ForH3588 apart fromH2351 HimH4480,1 whoH4310 can eatH398 and whoH4310 can find enjoymentH2363? 26ToH3588 the manH120 who is pleasingH2896 in His sightH6440, He givesH5414 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH1847 and joyH8057, but to the sinnerH2398 He assignsH5414 the taskH6045 of gatheringH622 and accumulatingH3664 that which he will hand overH5414 to one who pleasesH2896H6440 GodH430. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892 and a pursuitH7469 of the windH7307.
