Ecclesiastes 2:24-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 There is nothing better for man than to eat, drink, and enjoy[a][b] his work.(A) I have seen that even this is from God’s hand,(B) 25 because who can eat and who can enjoy life[c] apart from Him?[d] 26 For to the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy,(C) but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and accumulating in order to give to the one who is pleasing in God’s sight.(D) This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.(E)
