Ecclesiastes 2:21-23

English Standard Version

²¹ because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. ²² What has a man from ^(A)all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? ²³ For ^(B)all his days are full of sorrow, and his ^(C)work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.
