Ecclesiastes 2:21-23
Legacy Standard Bible
21 When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge, and (A)skill, then he (B)gives his portion 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 the striving of his heart with which he labors under the sun? 23 Because all his days his endeavor is painful and (D)vexing; even at night his heart (E)does not lie down. This too is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 2:21-23
New International Version
21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. 22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?(A) 23 All their days their work is grief and pain;(B) even at night their minds do not rest.(C) This too is meaningless.
