Ecclesiastes 2:24-26

GOD’S WORD Translation

With God Even the Simplest Things Have a Point

²⁴ There is nothing better for people to do than to eat, drink, and find satisfaction in their work. I saw that even this comes from the hand of God. ²⁵ Who can eat or enjoy themselves without God? ²⁶ God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to anyone who pleases him. But to the person who continues to sin, he gives the job of gathering and collecting ⌞wealth⌟. The sinner must turn his wealth over to the person who pleases God. Even this is pointless. ⌞It’s like⌟ trying to catch the wind.
