²⁶ If people please God, God will give them wisdom, knowledge, and ·joy [pleasure]. But ·sinners [or people who offend; ^Coffend God] will get only the work of gathering wealth that they will have to give to the ones who please God. So all their work is useless [1:2], like chasing the wind [3:12–14, 22; 5:18–20; 8:15; 9:7–10; ^Cthe little pleasures are distractions from the meaningless world].
