Ecclesiastes 2:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ People can work hard using all their wisdom, knowledge, and ·skill [success], but they will ·die, and other people will get the things for which they worked [^Lleave their reward to others]. They did not do the work, but they will get everything. This is ·also unfair [a great evil] and useless [1:2]. ²² What do people get for all their ·work [toil] and ·struggling [anxiety] ·here on earth [^Lunder the sun; 1:3]? ²³ All of their ·lives [^Ldays] their work is full of pain and ·sorrow [frustration], and even at night their ·minds [^Lhearts] don’t ·rest [^Llie down]. This is also useless [1:2].
