Ecclesiastes 2:21-22

NAS

NIV

21 When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge and skill, then he gives his legacy to one who has not labored with them. This too is vanity and a great evil.
21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
22 For what does a man get in all his labor and in his striving with which he labors under the sun?
22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
