Ecclesiastes 2:22-25
English Standard Version
22 What has a man from (A)all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? 23 For (B)all his days are full of sorrow, and his (C)work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.
24 (D)There is nothing better for a person than that he should (E)eat and drink and find enjoyment[a] in his toil. This also, I saw, is (F)from the hand of God, 25 for apart from him[b] who can eat or who can have enjoyment?
