Ecclesiastes 2:21

When there is a man who has labored 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 evil.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
World English Bible (WEB)
For there is{H3426} a man{H120} whose labour{H5999} is in wisdom{H2451}, and in knowledge{H1847}, and in equity{H3788}; yet to a man{H120} that hath not laboured{H5998}{(H8804)} therein shall he leave{H5414}{(H8799)} it for his portion{H2506}. This also is vanity{H1892} and a great{H7227} evil{H7451}.
Strong's King James
For there is an Adam who has laboured with wisdom, knowledge and profit, but he then gives his share to one who hasn't laboured with it. This too is vapour and a great evil.
The F.O.G
The F.O.G Paraphrase
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity, and to a man who hath not laboured therein he giveth it—his portion! Even this is vanity and a great evil.
