Ecclesiastes 2:24-26

Modern English Version

²⁴ There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink, and find enjoyment in his labor. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God. ²⁵ For who can even eat or have enjoyment more so than I?^{[a] 26} For to a man who is pleasing before Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting to give him who is pleasing before God. Also this is vanity and chasing the wind.
