^20 (A)saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who ^(B)sought the young Child’s life are dead.”

¹² For who knows what is good for man in life, ^[a]all the days of his ^[b]vain life which he passes like ^(A)a shadow? ^(B)Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?

⁸ Now there arose a new king over Egypt, ^(A)who did not know Joseph.

¹⁸ Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because ^(A)I must leave it to the man who will come after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I toiled and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity. ²⁰ Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun. ²¹ For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his ^[a]heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. ^22 (B)For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun? ²³ For all his days are ^(C)sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.
