Verse 26

For God giveth{H5414}{(H8804)} to a man{H120} that is good{H2896} in his sight{H6440} wisdom{H2451}, and knowledge{H1847}, and joy{H8057}: but to the sinner{H2398}{(H8802)} he giveth{H5414}{(H8804)} travail{H6045}, to gather{H622}{(H8800)} and to heap up{H3664}{(H8800)}, that he may give{H5414}{(H8800)} to him that is good{H2896} before{H6440} God{H430}.
