^10 (A)All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my ^(B)reward for all my labor. ¹¹ Thus I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had ^[a]exerted, and behold all was ^[b](C)vanity and striving after wind and there was ^(D)no profit under the sun.

⁸ There was a certain man without a ^[a]dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, ^(A)his eyes were not satisfied with riches and he never asked, “And ^(B)for whom am I laboring and depriving myself of pleasure?” This too is vanity and it is a ^(C)grievous task.
