Ecclesiastes 2:21-23

New Life Version

²¹ For here is a man who has worked with wisdom, much learning, and an able hand. Yet he must give this to one who has not worked for it. This also is for nothing, and very wrong. ²² For what does a man get from all his work and trouble under the sun? ²³ For his work brings pain and sorrow all his days. Even during the night his mind does not rest. This also is for nothing.
