17 H8130 Therefore I hated [H8804] H2416 life H4639 ; because the work H6213 that is wrought [H8738] H8121 under the sun H7451 is grievous H1892 unto me: for all is vanity H7469 and vexation H7307 of spirit.

18 H8130 Yea, I hated [H8804] H5999 all my labour H6001 which I had taken H8121 under the sun H3240 : because I should leave [H8686] H120 it unto the man H310 that shall be after me.

19 H3045 And who knoweth [H8802] H2450 whether he shall be a wise H5530 man or a fool H7980 ? yet shall he have rule [H8799] H5999 over all my labour H5998 wherein I have laboured [H8804] H2449 , and wherein I have shewed myself wise [H8804] H8121 under the sun H1892 . This is also vanity.

20 H5437 Therefore I went about [H8804] H2976 to cause H3820 my heart H2976 to despair [H8763] H5999 of all the labour H5998 which I took [H8804] H8121 under the sun.

21 H3426 For there is H120 a man H5999 whose labour H2451 is in wisdom H1847 , and in knowledge H3788 , and in equity H120 ; yet to a man H5998 that hath not laboured [H8804] H5414 therein shall he leave [H8799] H2506 it for his portion H1892 . This also is vanity H7227 and a great H7451 evil.

22 H1933 For what hath [H8802] H120 man H5999 of all his labour H7475 , and of the vexation H3820 of his heart H1931 , wherein H6001 he hath laboured H8121 under the sun?

23 H3117 For all his days H4341 are sorrows H6045 , and his travail H3708 grief H3820 ; yea, his heart H7901 taketh not rest [H8804] H3915 in the night H1892 . This is also vanity.
