Verse
Ecclesiastes - ch 2 v 21 - 26
- For when a man laboureth in wisdom, and knowledge, and carefulness, he leaveth what he hath gotten to an idle man: so this also is vanity, and a great evil.
- For what profit shall a man have of all his labour, and vexation of spirit, with which he bath been tormented under the sun?
- All his days axe full of sorrows and miseries, even in the night he doth not rest in mind: and is not this vanity?
- Is it not better to eat and drink, and to shew his soul good things of his labours? and this is from the hand of God.
- Who shall so feast and abound with delights as I?
- God hath given to a man that is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he hath given vexation, and superfluous care, to heap up and to gather together, and to give it to him that hath pleased God: but this also is vanity, and a fruitless solicitude of the mind.
