Ecclesiastes 2:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ So I hated life, because the things that happen under the sun were troublesome to me. Definitely, everything is pointless—just wind chasing.

¹⁸ I hated the things I worked so hard for here under the sun, because I will have to leave them to someone who comes after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether that one will be wise or foolish? Either way, that person will have control over the results of all my hard work and wisdom here under the sun. That too is pointless.
