Ecclesiastes 2:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ No one will remember the wise man or the fool for long. In days to come, all of them will already be forgotten. How does the wise man die? Just like the fool. ¹⁷ So I hated life, because the work done under the sun was so frustrating for me, because everything is vapor and chasing the wind. ¹⁸ I also hated all the results of my hard work, for which I worked so hard under the sun, since I must leave it all to the man who comes after me.
