^24 [a]There is ^(A)nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and have his soul see good in his labor. This also I have seen that it is ^(B)from the hand of God.

¹⁵ So I laud gladness, for there is nothing good for ^(A)a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to ^[a]be merry, and this will join with him in his labor throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.
