2:20. Wherefore I left off and my heart renounced labouring anymore under the sun.
2:21. For when a man laboureth in wisdom, and knowledge, and carefulness, he leaveth what he hath gotten to an idle man: so this also is vanity, and a great evil.
2:22. For what profit shall a man have of all his labour, and vexation of spirit, with which he hath been tormented under the sun?
2:23. All his days are full of sorrows and miseries, even in the night he doth not rest in mind: and is not this vanity?
2:24. 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.
2:25. Who shall so feast and abound with delights as I?
2:26. 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.
Ecclesiastes Chapter 3
All human things are liable to perpetual changes. We are to rest on God’s providence, and cast away fruitless cares.
3:1. All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
