Ecclesiastes 2:1
I said in my heart, I will give you joy for a test; so take your pleasure--but it was to no purpose.

And I went again in search of wisdom and of foolish ways. What may the man do who comes after the king? The thing which he has done before.
-----
Ecclesiastes 2:21
Because there is a man whose work has been done with wisdom, with knowledge, and with an expert hand; but one who has done nothing for it will have it for his heritage. This again is to no purpose and a great evil.

Ecclesiastes 2:22
What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?

All his days are sorrow, and his work is full of grief. Even in the night his heart has no rest. This again is to no purpose.
-----
Ecclesiastes 2:26
To the man with whom he is pleased, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him in whom God has pleasure. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
