Episode description
Ecc 2:22 So what do people get in this life for all their hard work and anxiety?
Ecc 2:23 Their days of labor are filled with pain and grief; even at night their minds cannot rest. It is all meaningless.
Ecc 2:24 So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work. Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God.
Ecc 2:25 For who can eat or enjoy anything apart from him?
Ecc 2:26 God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him. But if a sinner becomes wealthy, God takes the wealth away and gives it to those who please him. This, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind.
