Ecclesiastes 2:25-26

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ Without God's help, nobody can eat anything or enjoy anything. ²⁶ God gives wisdom, knowledge and joy to people who please him. Wicked people may work hard and become rich. But God takes away their valuable things and he gives them to someone who pleases him. So their hard work has no purpose. It is like somebody who tries to catch the wind.
