Fori he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Eccl. 2:16‑21• ¹⁶For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
¹⁷Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
¹⁸Yea, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
¹⁹And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
²⁰Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labor which I took under the sun.
²¹For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. (Eccl. 2:16‑21)
