23. All his days have been filled with sorrows and hardships; neither does he rest his mind, even in the night. And is this not emptiness?
24. Is it not better to eat and drink, and to show his soul the good things of his labors? And this is from the hand of God.
25. So who will feast and overflow with delights as much as I have?
26. God has given, to the man who is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and rejoicing. But to the sinner, he has given affliction and needless worrying, so as to add, and to gather, and to deliver, to him who has pleased God. But this, too, is emptiness and a hollow worrying of the mind.
