Ecclesiastes 2:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
16 For there is no enduring remembrance of the wise or of fools, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How can the wise die just like fools? 17 So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.[a]
18 I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to those who come after me
