Ecclesiastes 2:24-26

24There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200 goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200, that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430.1 25For who can eatH398, or who else can hastenH2363 hereunto, moreH2351 than I? 26For God givethH5414 to a manH120 that is goodH2896 in his sightH6440 wisdomH2451, and knowledgeH1847, and joyH8057: but to the sinnerH2398 he givethH5414 travailH6045, to gatherH622 and to heap upH3664, that he may giveH5414 to him that is goodH2896 beforeH6440 GodH430. This also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307.2
