Ecclesiastes 2:21-23
21When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge and 1skill, then he 2gives his 3legacy to one who has not labored with them. This too is vanity and a great evil. 22For what does a man get in 4all his labor and in 5his striving with which he labors under the sun? 23Because all his days his task is painful and 6grievous; even at night his 7mind 8does not rest. This too is vanity.
