Ecclesiastes 2:16-18

¹⁶For there is no recollection of the wise any more than of the fool for ever: seeing that which hath long ago been will, in the days that are coming, all be forgotten. And how doth the wise die equally with the fool!

¹⁷Therefore I hated life; because I felt displeased with the work that is wrought under the sun; for all is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

¹⁸Yea, I hated also all my toil with which I had toiled under the sun; because I should have to leave it unto the man that will be after me.
