¹⁴ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, ^(A)the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. ¹⁷ And ^(B)the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

⁶ Now godliness with ^(A)contentment is great gain.

³¹ Then ^(A)God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

¹⁷ Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

¹⁸ Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because ^(A)I must leave it to the man who will come after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I toiled and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity. ²⁰ Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun. ²¹ For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his ^[a]heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. ^22 (B)For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun? ²³ For all his days are ^(C)sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

⁴³ Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, just so they had done it. And Moses ^(A)blessed them.
