|---|---|---|
For there is a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil.
|
For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
|
For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
