Ecclesiastes 2:20-25

New International Version

²⁰ So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. ²¹ For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. ²² What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?^{(A) 23} All their days their work is grief and pain;^(B) even at night their minds do not rest.^(C) This too is meaningless.

²⁴ A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink^(D) and find satisfaction in their own toil.^(E) This too, I see, is from the hand of God,^{(F) 25} for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?^(G)
