20 So I (A)turned about and gave my heart up to despair (B)over all the toil of my labors under the sun, 21 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. 22 What has a man from (C)all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? 23 For (D)all his days are full of sorrow, and his (E)work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.
