Ecclesiastes 2:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ Someone else will control everything for which I worked so hard here on earth, and I don’t know if he will be wise or foolish. This is also useless. ²⁰ So I became sad about all the hard work I had done here on earth. ²¹ People can work hard using all their wisdom, knowledge, and skill, but they will die, and other people will get the things for which they worked. They did not do the work, but they will get everything. This is also unfair and useless.
