Ecclesiastes 2:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ And who knows if this man will be wise or a fool? Yet he will gain power over every labor that I have toiled and my use of wisdom under the sun. Also this is vanity. ²⁰ So I turned to give my heart up to despair concerning all the toil of my labors under the sun. ²¹ For there is a man who labors with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet to a man who did not labor for this, he leaves it as his inheritance. This also is vanity and a great distress.
