Ecclesiastes 2:21-23

Christian Standard Bible

²¹ When there is a person whose work was done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill,^(A) and he must give his portion to a person who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great wrong. ²² For what does a person get with all his work and all his efforts^(B) that he labors at under the sun? ²³ For all his days are filled with grief, and his occupation is sorrowful;^(C) even at night, his mind does not rest.^(D) This too is futile.
