Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

24. Is it not better to eat and drink, and to shew his soul good things of his labours? and this is from the hand of God.

25. Who shall so feast and abound with delights as I?

26. God hath given to a man that is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he hath given vexation, and superfluous care, to heap up and to gather together, and to give it to him that hath pleased God: but this also is vanity, and a fruitless solicitude of the mind.
