Ecclesiastes 2:17-20
17SoH6213 I hatedH8130 lifeH2416; becauseH3588 the workH4639 that is wroughtH4639 underH8478 the sunH8121 was grievous unto meH5921: for allH3605 is vanityH1892 and a strivingH7469 afterH5921 windH7307.
18And I hatedH8130 allH3605 my labour wherein I laboured underH8478 the sunH8121: seeing that I mustH853 leaveH3240 it unto the manH120 that shall be afterH310 meH8130.
19And who knoweth whetherH176 he shall be a wiseH2450 manH2450 or a foolH5530? yet shall he have rule over allH3605 my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed wisdomH2449 underH8478 the sunH8121. This also is vanityH1892.
20Therefore I turnedH5437 aboutH5921 to cause my heartH3820 to despairH2976 concerning allH3605 the labour wherein I had laboured underH8478 the sunH8121.
