Ecclesiastes 2:17-20
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.1 19And who knowethH3045 whether he shall be a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet shall he have ruleH7980 over all my labourH5999 in which I have labouredH5998, and in which I have showed myself wiseH2449 under the sunH8121. This is also vanityH1892. 20Therefore I went aboutH5437 to causeH2976 my heartH3820 to despairH2976 of all the labourH5999 which I tookH5998 under the sunH8121.
