Ecclesiastes 2:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Someone else will control everything for which I worked so hard here on earth. And I don’t know if he will be wise or foolish. This is also useless. ²⁰ So I became sad about all the hard work I had done here on earth. ²¹ A person can work hard using all his wisdom, knowledge and skill. But he will die, and other people will get the things he worked for. They did not do the work, but they will get everything. This is also unfair and useless.
