24 ^fThere is nothing better for a person than that he should ^geat and drink and find enjoyment¹ in his toil. This also, I saw, is ^hfrom the hand of God, 25 for apart from him² who can eat or who can have enjoyment? 26 For to the one who pleases him ⁱGod has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given ^ethe business of gathering and collecting, ^jonly to give to one who pleases God. ^kThis also is vanity and a striving after wind.
