Ecclesiastes 2:16-18
Common English Bible
16 There is no eternal memory of the wise any more than the foolish,[a] because everyone is forgotten before long. How can the wise die just like the fool? 17 So I hated life, because the things that happen under the sun were troublesome to me. Definitely, everything is pointless—just wind chasing.
18 I hated the things I worked so hard for here under the sun, because I will have to leave them to someone who comes after me.
