Ecclesiastes:2:21-26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom ,
and in knowledge da #
ath #,
and in equity ;
yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion .
This also is vanity and a great evil .
*
For what hath man of all his labour ,
and of the vexation of his heart ,
wherein he hath laboured under the sun ?
*
For all his days are sorrows mak #
ob #,
and his travail grief ka #
ac #;
yea ,
his heart taketh not rest in the night .
This is also vanity .
*
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 .
This also I saw ,
that it was from the hand of God .
*
For who can eat ,
or who else can hasten hereunto ,
more than I ?
*
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom ,
and knowledge da #
ath #,
and joy :
but to the sinner he giveth travail ,
to gather and to heap up ,
that he may give to him that is good before God .
This also is vanity and vexation of spirit .
