Ecclesiastes 2:16-18

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.
