Ecclesiastes 2:18-22

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. 21For there isH3426 a manH120 whose labourH5999 is in wisdomH2451, and in knowledgeH1847, and in equityH3788; yet to a manH120 that hath not labouredH5998 in it shall he leaveH5414 it for his portionH2506. This also is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451.2 22For what hathH1933 manH120 of all his labourH5999, and of the vexationH7475 of his heartH3820, in whichH1931 he hath labouredH6001 under the sunH8121?
