Ecclesiastes 2:24-26

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁴ There is ^(A)nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and ^[a]tell himself that his labor is good. This also I have seen that it is ^(B)from the hand of God. ²⁵ For who can eat and who can have enjoyment without ^[b]Him? ²⁶ For to a person who is good in His sight ^(C)He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that he may ^(D)give to one who is good in God’s sight. This too is ^(E)vanity and striving after wind.
