New International Reader's Version

Ecclesiastes 2:23-25 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

23. As long as he lives, his work is nothing but pain and sorrow. Even at night his mind can't rest. That doesn't have any meaning either.

24. A man can't do anything better than eat and drink and be satisfied with his work. I'm finally seeing that those things also come from the hand of God.

25. Without his help, who can eat or find pleasure?
