Isaiah 2:12-17
For a day belonging to the Lord of Hosts is coming against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up— it will be humbled—against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,against all the high mountains, against all the lofty hills,against every high tower, against every fortified wall,against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel.So human pride will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

Ecclesiastes 2:18-21
I hated all my work that I labored at under the sun because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will take over all my work that I labored at skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.So I began to give myself over to despair concerning all my work that I had labored at under the sun.When there is a man whose work was done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great wrong.
