I did not withhold my heart from any gladness, for my heart was glad because of all my labor, and this was my ^(B)reward for all my labor. ¹¹ Thus I turned to all my works which my hands had done and the labor which I had labored to do, and behold, all was ^[a](C)vanity and striving after wind, and there was ^(D)no advantage under the sun.
