Ecclesiastes 2:9-11
Lexham English Bible

My heart rejoiced in all my toil, for this was my reward from all my toil. 11 Yet when I considered[b] all the effort which I expended and the toil with which I toiled to do, then behold, “Everything is vanity and chasing wind! There is nothing profitable under the sun!”
