Verse 19

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