Ecclesiastes 2:11

and on all the effort that I had expended to accomplish it,

like chasing the wind!

There is nothing gained from them on earth.”

for which I worked so wisely on earth!

This also is futile!

I have found only one upright man among a thousand,

but I have not found one upright woman among all of them.

and they no longer have a part in anything that happens on earth.
