Ecclesiastes 2:16-21

For [there is] no remembrance
<02146>
of the wise
<02450>
more than
<05973>
of the fool
<03684>
for ever
<05769>_;
seeing that which now
<03528>
[is] in the days
<03117>
to come
<0935> (8802)
shall all be forgotten
<07911> (8738)_.
And how dieth
<04191> (8799)
the wise
<02450>
[man]? as the fool
<03684>_.
Therefore I hated
<08130> (8804)
life
<02416>_;
because the work
<04639>
that is wrought
<06213> (8738)
under the sun
<08121>
[is] grievous
<07451>
unto me: for all [is] vanity
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_.
Yea, I hated
<08130> (8804)
all my labour
<05999>
which I had taken
<06001>
under the sun
<08121>_:
because I should leave
<03240> (8686)
it unto the man
<0120>
that shall be after
<0310>
me. {taken: Heb. laboured}
And who knoweth
<03045> (8802)
whether he shall be a wise
<02450>
[man] or a fool
<05530>_?
yet shall he have rule
<07980> (8799)
over all my labour
<05999>
wherein I have laboured
<05998> (8804)_,
and wherein I have shewed myself wise
<02449> (8804)
under the sun
<08121>_.
This [is] also vanity
<01892>_.
Therefore I went about
<05437> (8804)
to cause
<02976> (0)
my heart
<03820>
to despair
<02976> (8763)
of all the labour
<05999>
which I took
<05998> (8804)
under the sun
<08121>_.
For there is
<03426>
a man
<0120>
whose labour
<05999>
[is] in wisdom
<02451>_,
and in knowledge
<01847>_,
and in equity
<03788>_;
yet to a man
<0120>
that hath not laboured
<05998> (8804)
therein shall he leave
<05414> (8799)
it [for] his portion
<02506>_.
This also [is] vanity
<01892>
and a great
<07227>
evil
<07451>_.
{leave: Heb. give}
