Ecclesiastes 2:24-26
24ThereH369 is 1nothingH369 betterH2896 for a manH120 than to eatH398 and drinkH8354 and 2tellH7200 himselfH5315 that his laborH5999 is goodH2896. ThisH2090 alsoH1571 I have seenH7200 that it is 3from the handH3027 of GodH430.
25For whoH4310 can eatH398 and whoH4310 can haveH2363 enjoymentH2363 withoutH2351H4480 4Him?
26For to a personH120 whoH7945 is goodH2896 in His sightH6440 5He has givenH5414 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH1847 and joyH8057, while to the sinnerH2398 He has givenH5414 the taskH6045 of gatheringH622 and collectingH3664 so that he may 6giveH5414 to oneH2896 whoH2896 is goodH2896 in God’sH430 sightH6440. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is 7vanityH1892 and strivingH7469 after windH7307.
