Proverbs 21:24
The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 2 - American Standard Version

1
I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity.
2
I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it?
3
I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding [me] with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.
4
I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;
5
I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;
6
I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared;
7
I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;
8
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
9
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
10
And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.
11
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
12
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king? [even] that which hath been done long ago.
13
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
14
The wise man`s eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all.
15
Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then said I in my heart, that this also is vanity.
16
For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!
17
So I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.
18
And I hated all my labor wherein I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
19
And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.
20
Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor wherein I had labored under the sun.
21
For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
22
For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun?
23
For all his days are [but] sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.
24
There is nothing better for a man [than] that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
25
For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?
26
For to the man that pleaseth him [God] giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
