Ecclesiastes 2:18-19
New International Version
18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.(A) 19 And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish?(B) Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless.

18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

Psalm 49:6-13
New International Version
6 those who trust in their wealth(A)
and boast(B) of their great riches?(C)
7 No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
8 the ransom(D) for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough—(E)
9 so that they should live on(F) forever
and not see decay.(G)
10 For all can see that the wise die,(H)
that the foolish and the senseless(I) also perish,
leaving their wealth(J) to others.(K)
11 Their tombs(L) will remain their houses[a] forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,(M)
though they had[b] named(N) lands after themselves.

Psalm 49:6-13
King James Version
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
