Ecclesiastes 2:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ For there shall be no remembrance of either the wise or the fool, forever. For in the days to come, what now is shall all be forgotten. And how does the wise man die? Just as the fool!

¹⁷ Therefore, I hated life. For the work that is wrought under the Sun is grievous to me. For all is vanity and grasping at the wind.

¹⁸ I also hated all my labor in which I had travailed under the Sun, which I shall leave to the man who shall come after me.
