Ecclesiastes 2:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ For there is no more remembrance of the wise for ever than of the fool, since all that now is shall be forgotten in the days to come. And how dieth the wise man? As the fool!

¹⁷ Therefore I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me. For all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

¹⁸ Yea, I hated all my labor which I had done under the sun, because I must leave it unto the man who shall be after me.
