23 Every day sorrow and grief are their occupation; even at night their hearts are not at rest. This also is vanity.
24 There is nothing better for mortals than to eat and drink and provide themselves with good things from their toil. Even this, I saw, is from the hand of God.
25 For who can eat or drink apart from God?
26 For to the one who pleases God, he gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the one who displeases, God gives the task of gathering possessions for the one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chase after wind.
