Ecclesiastes 2:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

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. ¹⁹ And who knows—will he be wise, or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the results of my hard work, for which I worked so hard and so wisely, under the sun. This too is vapor that vanishes.
