My heart took delight in all my labor, for this was my reward for all my efforts. 11 Yet when I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, behold, everything was meaningless—a chasing after the wind. There was nothing to be gained under the sun. 12 So I turned my attention to consider wisdom, madness, and folly. For what can anyone do who comes after the king? Only what has already been done. 13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. 14 The wise have eyes in their heads, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also realized that the same fate overtakes them both. 15 Then I said in my heart, 'What happens to the fool will also happen to me. So why have I been so very wise?' And I concluded in my heart, 'This too is meaningless.' 16 For the wise, like the fool, will not be remembered forever; in the days to come, everything will be forgotten. How does the wise person die? Just like the fool! 17 So I hated life, because the work done under the sun was grievous to me. For everything is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 18 I hated all my toil under the sun because I must leave it to the one who comes after me. 19 And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will rule over all the fruit of my labor that I have worked for under the sun. This too is meaningless. 20 So I turned my heart to despair over all the hard work with which I had labored under the sun. 21 For there is a person who labors with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, but then must leave everything to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. 22 What does a person gain from all their labor and from the striving of their heart under the sun? 23 All their days are full of sorrow, and their work is filled with grief; even at night their mind does not rest. This too is meaningless. 24 There is nothing better for a person than to eat and drink and find enjoyment in their work. This too, I realized, is from the hand of God. 25 For who can eat or who can enjoy life apart from Him? 26 To the person who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner, He gives the task of gathering and storing wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
