Ecclesiastes 2:20-24 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

20. Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour in which I had laboured under the sun.

21. For there is a man whose labour is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not laboured for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

22. For what has a man of all his labour, and of the striving of his heart, in which he labours under the sun?

23. For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

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