New American Standard Bible 1995
Ecclesiastes 2:24-26
24There is 1nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and 2tell himself that his labor is good. This also I have seen that it is 3from the hand of God.
25For who can eat and who can have enjoyment without 4Him?
26For to a person who is good in His sight 5He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that he may 6give to one who is good in God’s sight. This too is 7vanity and striving after wind.
