Ecclesiastes 1:13
11 There is no remembrance of those who came before, and those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow after.
12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them!
14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun, and have found them all to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.
15 What is crooked cannot be straightened, and what is lacking cannot be counted.
