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 of the wise man, even as of the fool,{HR}[There is] no remembrance forever;{HR}Seeing that in the days to come{HR}All will have been already forgotten.{HR}And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!
¹⁷So I hated life;{HR}Because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me:{HR}For all [is] vanity and a striving after wind.
¹⁸And I hated all my labour wherein I laboured under the sun:{HR}Seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
¹⁹And who knoweth whether he shall be wise or a fool?{HR}Yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured,{HR}And wherein I have showed wisdom under the sun. This also [is] vanity.
²⁰Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair{HR}Concerning all the labour wherein I had laboured under the sun.
²¹For there is a man whose labour [is] with wisdom,{HR}And with knowledge, and with skilfulness;{HR}Yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion.{HR}This also [is] vanity and a great evil. (Eccl. 2:16‑21)
