Ecclesiastes 2:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge and ^(A)skill, then he ^(B)gives his ^[a]legacy to one who has not labored with them. This too is vanity and a great evil. ²² For what does a man get in ^(C)all his labor and in ^[b]his striving with which he labors under the sun? ²³ Because all his days his task is painful and ^(D)grievous; even at night his ^[c]mind ^(E)does not rest. This too is vanity.
