Ecclesiastes 2:23

All her days are pain (filled with suffering) and her occupation is vexation (the work is frustrating and brings disappointment); even at night her heart does not rest.
This too is meaningless.
[Disappointment: Who knows what the next generation will do with the resources saved for them; they may even use them for evil and folly. Solomon's son was Rehoboam.]
