Ecclesiastes 2:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 For there shall be no remembrance of the wise, nor of the fool [a]forever: for that that now is, in the days to come, shall all be forgotten. And [b]how dieth the wise man, as doth the fool?
17 Therefore I hated life: for the work that is wrought under the Sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity, and vexation of the spirit.
18 I hated also all my labor, wherein I had travailed under the Sun, which I shall leave to the man that shall be after me.
