18 Yee I was weery of all my laboure, which I had taken vnder the Sonne, because I shulde be fayne to leaue them vnto another man, that cometh after me: 19 for who knoweth, whether he shalbe a wyse ma or a foole? And yet shal he be lorde of all my labours, which I with soch wysdome haue taken vnder the Sonne. Is not this a vayne thinge? 20 So I turned me to refrayne my mynde from all soch trauayle, as I toke vnder the Sonne: 21 for so moch as a man shulde weery him self with wysdome, with vnderstondinge and opportunite, and yet be fayne to leaue his labours vnto another, yt neuer swett for them. This is also a vayne thinge and a greate misery. Ecclesiastes 2:18-21, Coverdale Bible of 1535. Public domain.
