Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
24
There is nothing better for mortals than to eat and drink, and find enjoyment in their toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God;
25
for apart from him a who can eat or who can have enjoyment?
26
For to the one 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 chasing after wind. b
