Ecclesiastes 2:20-23
Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun.For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun?For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

Proverbs 31:15-18
She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants.She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard.She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.She perceives that her merchandise is good, And her lamp does not go out by night.

Ecclesiastes 1:14
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11
I said in my heart,“ Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure”; but surely, this also was vanity.I said of laughter—“ Madness!”; and of mirth,“ What does it accomplish?”I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.I made my works great, I built myself houses, and planted myself vineyards.I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.I made myself water pools from which to water the growing trees of the grove.I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me.I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds.So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, For my heart rejoiced in all my labor; And this was my reward from all my labor.Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 4:8
There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks,“ For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?” This also is vanity and a grave misfortune.
-
Genesis 3:17-19
Then to Adam He said,“ Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying,‘ You shall not eat of it’:“ Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field.In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”

Psalms 60:5
That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.
-
Psalms 39:5-6
Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. SelahSurely every man walks about like a shadow; Surely they busy themselves in vain; He heaps up riches, And does not know who will gather them.

Ecclesiastes 6:7
All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied.
