Ecclesiastes 2:22-26


[22] What has a man from all the toil and strain with which he toils beneath the sun?
[23] For all his days are full of pain, and his work is a vexation; even in the night his mind does not rest. This also is vanity.
[24] There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God;

[25] for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment?
[26] For to the man who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and heaping, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
