    20And I turned round to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour that I laboured at under the sun.

    21For there is a man whose labour `is' in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity, and to a man who hath not laboured therein he giveth it -- his portion! Even this `is' vanity and a great evil.

    22For what hath been to a man by all his labour, and by the thought of his heart that he laboured at under the sun?

    23For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even at night his heart hath not lain down; this also `is' vanity.

    24There is nothing good in a man who eateth, and hath drunk, and hath shewn his soul good in his labour. This also I have seen that it `is' from the hand of God.

    25For who eateth and who hasteth out more than I?

    26For to a man who `is' good before Him, He hath given wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; and to a sinner He hath given travail, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before God. Even this `is' vanity and vexation of spirit.

    19Every man also to whom God hath given wealth and riches, and hath given him power to eat of it, and to accept his portion, and to rejoice in his labour, this is a gift of God.

    20For he doth not much remember the days of his life, for God is answering through the joy of his heart.

    13There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil.

    14And that wealth hath been lost in an evil business, and he hath begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand!

    15As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turneth back to go as he came, and he taketh not away anything of his labour, that doth go in his hand.

    16And this also `is' a painful evil, just as he came, so he goeth, and what advantage `is' to him who laboureth for wind?
