Ecclesiastes 2:17-19

New Life Version

¹⁷ So I hated life. For the work which had been done under the sun brought sorrow to me. Because everything is for nothing and is like trying to catch the wind.

¹⁸ I hated what came from all my work which I had done under the sun. For I must leave it to the man who will come after me. ¹⁹ And who knows if he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will rule over all that I have worked for by acting with wisdom under the sun. This also is for nothing.
