New Testament

Ecclesiastes 2:23-26 New Century Version (NCV)

23. All of their lives their work is full of pain and sorrow, and even at night their minds don’t rest. This is also useless.

24. The best that people can do is eat, drink, and enjoy their work. I saw that even this comes from God,

25. because no one can eat or enjoy life without him.

26. If people please God, God will give them wisdom, knowledge, and joy. But sinners will get only the work of gathering and storing wealth that they will have to give to the ones who please God. So all their work is useless, like chasing the wind.
