15And I said in my heart, As the event of the fool is, so shall it be to me, even to me; and to what purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also vanity, because the fool speaks of his abundance.
16For there is no remembrance of the wise man with the fool for ever; forasmuch as now in the coming days all things are forgotten: and how shall the wise man die with the fool?
17So I hated life; because the work that was wrought under the sun was evil before me: for all is vanity and waywardness of spirit.
18And I hated the whole of my labour which I took under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.
19And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? and whether he will have power over all my labour in which I laboured, and wherein I grew wise under the sun? this is also vanity.
20So I went about to dismiss from my heart all my labour wherein I had laboured under the sun.
21For there is such a man that his labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; yet this man shall give his portion to one who has not laboured therein. This is also vanity and great evil.
22For it happens to a man in all his labour, and in the purpose of his heart wherein he labours under the sun.
23For all his days are days of sorrows, and vexation of spirit is his; in the night also his heart rests not. This is also vanity.
