Ecclesiastes 2:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 Wise or foolish, we all die and are soon forgotten.” 17 This made me hate life. Everything we do is painful; it's just as senseless as chasing the wind.[a]
18 Suddenly I realized that others would someday get everything I had worked for so hard, then I started hating it all.
