Ecclesiastes 2:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ And I began to hate life for the labor that was done under the sun was contemptible to me, for all of this was vanity and chasing the wind. ¹⁸ And I despised all the toil in which I labored under the sun, which I will give up to the man who comes after me. ¹⁹ And who knows if this man will be wise or a fool? Yet he will gain power over every labor that I have toiled and my use of wisdom under the sun. Also this is vanity.
