Ecclesiastes 2:18-22

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?
