Ecclesiastes 2:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ For when a man laboureth in wisdom, and knowledge, and carefulness, he leaveth what he hath gotten to an idle man: so this also is vanity, and a great evil.

²² For what profit shall a man have of all his labour, and vexation of spirit, with which he hath been tormented under the sun?

²³ All his days are full of sorrows and miseries, even in the night he doth not rest in mind: and is not this vanity?
