Ecclesiastes 6:1-2

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Futility of Life

6 There is an ^(A)evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent ^[a]among men— ² a man to whom God has ^(B)given riches and wealth and honor so that his soul ^(C)lacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner ^[b]enjoys them. This is ^[c]vanity and a severe affliction.
