Ecclesiastes 2:20-24 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

20. Therefore I gave my heart up to despair of all the labor in which I toiled under the sun.

21. For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that has not labored in it shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

22. For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart, with which he has labored under the sun?

23. For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart takes not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

24. There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
