Ecclesiastes 3:22

וְרָאִ֗יתִי כִּ֣י אֵ֥ין טוֹב֙ מֵאֲשֶׁ֤ר יִשְׂמַח֙ הָאָדָ֔ם בְּמַעֲשָׂ֖יו כִּ֣י ה֣וּא חֶלְק֑וֹ כִּ֣י מִ֥י יְבִיאֶ֛נּוּ לִרְא֖וֹת בְּמֶ֥ה שֶׁיִּֽהְיֶ֖ה אַחֲרָֽיו׃
vraʾiytiy kiy ʾeyn ṭvob meʾasher yishmaḥ haʾadam bmaʿashayv kiy hvʾ ḥelqvo kiy miy ybiyʾenv lirʾvot bmeh sheyihyeh ʾaḥarayv
King James Version (KJV)

Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Modern English

So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him?
