Ecclesiastes 2:18-22
The Vanity of Labor
18 Thus I hated aall the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, for I must bleave it to the man who will come after me. 19 And who knows whether he will be a wise man or aa man of simpleminded folly? Yet he will have power over all the fruit of my labor for which I have labored and for which I have acted wisely under the sun. This too is bvanity. 20 Therefore I turned my heart to despair of all my labor for which I had labored under the sun. 21 When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge, and askill, then he bgives 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 aall his labor and in the striving of his heart with which he labors under the sun?
