22 For what has been to a man by all his labor, and by the thought of his heart that he labored at under the sun? 23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even at night his heart has not lain down; this [is] also vanity. 24 There is nothing good in a man who eats, and has drunk, and has shown his soul good in his labor. This also I have seen that it [is] from the hand of God. 25 For who eats and who hurries out more than I? 26 For to a man who [is] good before Him, He has given wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; and to a sinner He has given travail, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before God. Even this [is] vanity and distress of spirit. Ecclesiastes 2:22-26, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
