Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 22 of 26

"For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?"
Ecclesiastes 2:22

In context

20Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.

21For there is a man whose labour in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it his portion. This also vanity and a great evil.

22For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

23For all his days sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

24nothing better for a man, that he should eat and drink, and he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it from the hand of God.
