24 ^rThere is nothing better for a person than that he should ^seat and drink and find enjoyment¹ in his toil. This also, I saw, is from 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 God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, ^tonly to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
