Ecclesiastes 2:26

JUB

NIV

26 For God gives to the man that <em>is</em> good in <em>his</em> sight wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to the one that is good before <em>God</em>. This also <em>is</em> vanity and vexation of spirit.
26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
