Ecclesiastes 2:18-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Emptiness of Work

¹⁸ I hated all my work that I labored at under the sun^(A) because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.^{(B) 19} And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool?^(C) Yet he will take over all my work that I labored at skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.
