THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Ecclesiastes (Author Solomon)

2:17Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

2:18Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

2:19And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

2:20Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
