Yet, there was something that troubled him ​ — the realization that at death he would have to leave to someone else all that ‘ his hard work, ’ performed “with wisdom and with knowledge and with proficiency, ” had procured for him. ​ — Ecclesiastes 2: 17 - 21.
اما موضوعی او را عذاب می‌داد —‏ برای او چون روز روشن بود که پس از مرگ ،‏ دسترنج و ‹ مشقّتش › که با « حکمت و معرفت و کامیابی » به دست آورده است می‌باید به شخصی دیگر واگذار شود .‏ —‏ جامعه ۲ :‏ ۱۷ -‏ ۲۱ .‏
