Ecclesiastes 2:23-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 For all his days are filled with grief, and his occupation is sorrowful;(A) even at night, his mind does not rest.(B) This too is futile.
24 There is nothing better for man than to eat, drink, and enjoy[a][b] his work.(C) I have seen that even this is from God’s hand,(D) 25 because who can eat and who can enjoy life[c] apart from Him?[d]
