Ecclesiastes 2:18-21 ▼

18 I hated all my work that I labored at under the sun because I must leave it to the one who comes after me.

19 And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will take over all my work that I labored at skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.

20 So I began to give myself over to despair concerning all my work that I had labored at under the sun.

21 When there is a person whose work was done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a person who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great wrong.
