Ecclesiastes 2:17-23

17And I hatedH8130 lifeH2416; for the workH4639 that is wrought under the sunH8121 was grievous unto me; for all is vanityH1892 and pursuit of the windH7307.

18And I hatedH8130 all my labour wherewith I had beenH1961 toiling under the sunH8121, because I should leave it unto the manH120 that shall beH1961 after me.

19And who knoweth whether he will beH1961 a wiseH2450 [man] or a foolH5530? yet shall he have rule over all my labour at which I have laboured, and wherein I have beenH1961 wiseH2450 under the sunH8121. This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892.

20Then I wentH5437 about to cause my heartH3820 to despairH2976 of all the labour wherewith I had laboured under the sunH8121.

21For there is a manH120 whose labour hath been with wisdomH2451, and with knowledgeH1847, and with skillH2451, and who leaveth it to a manH120 that hath not laboured therein, to be his portionH2506. This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451.

22For what will manH120 have of all his labour and of the striving of his heartH3820, wherewith he hath wearied himself under the sunH8121?

23For all his daysH3117 are sorrows, and his travail vexation: even in the nightH3915 his heartH3820 taketh no restH7901. This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892.
