Ecclesiastes 2:18
| ← Ecclesiastes 2:17 | Ecclesiastes 2:18 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 2:19 → |
|---|---|---|
Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun [is] grievous unto me: for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
|
Yea, 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.
|
And 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.
