Ecclesiastes 2:23-25
Jubilee Bible 2000
23 For all his days are only sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart does not take rest in the night. This is also vanity.
24 There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. I also have seen that this is from the hand of God.
25 For who can eat, or who can care for himself better than I?
