For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

[There is] nothing better for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God.
