Ecclesiastes 2:18

"Thus. hated all the fruit of my labor for which. had labored under the sun, for. must leave it to the man who will come after me."all the fruit of my labor" -not only did life lose its meaning, but all the "things" in Ecclesiastes 2:1-10 had lost their appeal to Solomon. Solomon grows bitter and cynical. Everything he has worked so hard for-would end up in the hands of someone else. Note the phrase, "I must leave it". like it or not, this would be inevitable (Psalms 49:10; Proverbs 2:24; Matthew 2:19; Luke 12:20; 1 Timothy 6:7). He resented all the work that he had expended because there was no permanence to its fruits.
