Ecclesiastes 2:17-19
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
17 So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.[a]
18 I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to those who come after me 19 —and who knows whether they will be wise or foolish? Yet they will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.
