Ecclesiastes 2:18DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 18 of 26
"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."
In context
16For no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise ? as the fool.
17Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun grievous unto me: for all vanity and vexation of spirit.
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.
19And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise 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 also vanity.
20Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
