Ecclesiastes 2:16-18
New International Version
16 For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered;(A)
the days have already come when both have been forgotten.(B)
Like the fool, the wise too must die!(C)
Toil Is Meaningless
17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.(D) 18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.(E)
