2:18 So I loathed all the fruit of 1 my effort, 2
for which I worked so hard 3 on earth, 4
because 5 I must leave it 6 behind 7 in the hands of my successor. 8
2:19 Who knows if he will be a wise man or a fool?
Yet 9 he will be master over all the fruit of 10 my labor 11
for which I worked so wisely 12 on earth! 13
This also is futile!
2:20 So I began to despair 14 about all the fruit of 15 my labor 16
for which I worked so hard 17 on earth. 18
2:21 For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge, and skill;
however, he must hand over 19 the fruit of his labor 20 as an inheritance 21
to someone else who did not work for it.
This also is futile, and an awful injustice! 22
