- 22
So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.
And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? 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.
So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun.
For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
我所以恨惡生命；因為在日光之下所行的事我都以為煩惱，都是虛空，都是捕風。
我恨惡一切的勞碌，就是我在日光之下的勞碌，因為我得來的必留給我以後的人。
那人是智慧是愚昧，誰能知道？他竟要管理我勞碌所得的，就是我在日光之下用智慧所得的。這也是虛空。
故此，我轉想我在日光之下所勞碌的一切工作，心便絕望。
因為有人用智慧、知識、靈巧所勞碌得來的，卻要留給未曾勞碌的人為分。這也是虛空，也是大患。
人在日光之下勞碌累心，在他一切的勞碌上得著什麼呢？
傳道書 11:6
Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.

以弗所書 2:10
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
我們原是他的工作，在基督耶穌裡造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是神所預備叫我們行的。
提摩太前書 5:8
Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
人若不看顧親屬，就是背了真道，比不信的人還不好，不看顧自己家裡的人，更是如此。
箴言 12:11
Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense.
耕種自己田地的，必得飽食；追隨虛浮的，卻是無知。
路加福音 1:37
For no word from God will ever fail."
因為，出於神的話，沒有一句不帶能力的。」
