Ecclesiastes 2:18-21 World English Bible (WEB)

18. I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.

19. Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

20. Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.

21. For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
