Ecclesiastes 2:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ Some other person will control everything I worked and studied for. And I don’t know if that person will be wise or foolish. This is also senseless.

²⁰ So I became sad about all the work I had done. ²¹ People can work hard using all their wisdom and knowledge and skill. But they will die and other people will get the things they worked for. They did not do the work, but they will get everything. That makes me very sad. It is also not fair and is senseless.
