Ecclesiastes 2:18-22
I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.For what does a man have of all his labor and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?

The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
