Ecclesiastes 2:14-18
14The wise man’sH2450 eyesH5869 are in his headH7218; but the foolH3684 walkethH1980 in darknessH2822: and I myself perceivedH3045 also that oneH259 eventH4745 happenethH7136 to them all. 15ThenH227 saidH559 I in my heartH3820, As it happenethH4745 to the foolH3684, so it happenethH7136 even to meH1571; and why was I then moreH3148 wiseH2449? Then I saidH1696 in my heartH3820, that this also is vanityH1892.1 16For there is no remembranceH2146 of the wiseH2450 more thanH5973 of the foolH3684 for everH5769; seeing that which nowH3528 is in the daysH3117 to comeH935 shall all be forgottenH7911. And how diethH4191 the wiseH2450 man ? as the foolH3684.
17Therefore I hatedH8130 lifeH2416; because the workH4639 that is wroughtH6213 under the sunH8121 is grievousH7451 to me: for all is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. 18Yea, I hatedH8130 all my labourH5999 which I had takenH6001 under the sunH8121: because I should leaveH3240 it to the manH120 that shall be afterH310 me.2
