Ecclesiastes 2:23-25
New King James Version
23 For all his days are (A)sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.
24 (B)Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God. 25 For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, [a]more than I?

Ecclesiastes 2:23-25
New International Version
23 All their days their work is grief and pain;(A) even at night their minds do not rest.(B) This too is meaningless.
24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink(C) and find satisfaction in their own toil.(D) This too, I see, is from the hand of God,(E) 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?(F)
