Ecclesiastes 2:20-25 English Standard Version (ESV)

20. So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun,

21. because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

22. What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun?

23. For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.

24. There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God,

25. for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment?
