Ecclesiastes 2:18-21

¹⁸I even ended up hating what I had achieved here on earth because I have to hand it over to whoever comes after me.

¹⁹And who knows whether he will be wise or foolish? Yet he will rule over everything I accomplished through my wisdom here on earth. This is just so frustrating, so hard to understand!

²⁰I decided to give up, my mind in despair over the significance of all my life's achievements.

²¹For you can work wisely, knowledgably, and with skill—and who benefits? Someone who hasn't worked for it! This is both frustrating and totally unjust!
