Verse 2

a man{H376} to whom God{H430} giveth{H5414} riches,{H6239} wealth,{H6239} and honor,{H3519} so that he lacketh{H2638} nothing for his soul{H5315} of all that he desireth,{H183} yet God{H430} giveth him not power{H7980} to eat{H398} thereof, but an alien{H376} eateth{H398} it; this is vanity,{H1892} and it is an evil{H7451} disease.{H2483}
