Ecclesiastes 2:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²² What do mortals get from all the toil and strain with which they toil under the sun?^{(A) 23} For all their days are full of pain, and their work is a vexation; even at night their minds do not rest. This also is vanity.^(B)

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,^(C)
