Ecclesiastes 2:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ So I came to regret that I had worked so hard. ²¹ You work for something with all your wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and then you have to leave it all to someone who hasn't had to work for it. It is useless, and it isn't right! ²² You work and worry your way through life, and what do you have to show for it?
