Ecclesiastes 2:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ As long as they live, their work is nothing but pain and sorrow. Even at night their minds can’t rest. That doesn’t have any meaning either.

²⁴ A person can’t do anything better than eat, drink and be satisfied with their work. I’m finally seeing that those things also come from the hand of God. ²⁵ Without his help, who can eat or find pleasure?
