24There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and enjoy good in his labor. I also saw that this is from the hand of God.

25For who can eat, and who can enjoy, apart from me?

26For God has given wisdom, knowledge, and joy to the man who is good before him, but to the sinner he has given the task of gathering and collecting, to give it to the one who is good before God. This too is vapor and chasing after wind.
