^24 [a]There is ^(A)nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and have his soul see good in his labor. This also I have seen that it is ^(B)from the hand of God. ²⁵ For who can eat and who can have enjoyment outside of ^[b]Him? ²⁶ For to a man who is good before Him, ^(C)He has given wisdom and knowledge and gladness, while to the sinner He has given the endeavor of gathering and collecting so that he may ^(D)give to one who is good before God. This too is ^(E)vanity and striving after wind.
