Ecclesiastes 2:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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?

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?

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.
