Ecclesiastes 2:19-21

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool, he who shall have rule over all my labour in which I have laboured and in which I have showed myself wise under the sun? This is also vanity.

²⁰ Therefore my heart began to despair again regarding all the labour which I took under the sun.

²¹ That the man who worked with wisdom and with knowledge and with uprightness would have to leave his portion to a man that has not laboured therein. This also is vanity and a great evil.
