22 For what hath man of all his trauaile and griefe of his heart, wherein he hath trauailed vnder the sunne? 23 For all his dayes are sorowes, and his trauaile griefe: his heart also taketh not rest in the night: which also is vanitie. 24 There is no profit to man: but that he eate, and drinke, & delight his soule with the profit of his labour: I saw also this, that it was of the hand of God. 25 For who could eate, and who could haste to outward things more then I? 26 Surely to a man that is good in his sight, God giueth wisdome, and knowledge, and ioy: but to the sinner he giueth paine, to gather, and to heape to giue to him that is good before God: this is also vanitie, and vexation of the spirit. Ecclesiastes 2:22-26, Geneva Bible of 1587. Public domain.
