* 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 . * Therefore I went about to causemy heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun . * For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom , and in knowledge da #ath #, and in equity ; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion . This also is vanity and a great evil . * For what hath man of all his labour , and of the vexation of his heart , wherein he hath laboured under the sun ? * For all his days are sorrows mak #ob #, and his travail grief ka #ac #; yea , his heart taketh not rest in the night . This is also vanity .
