2:10 I did not restrain myself from getting whatever I wanted; 1
I did not deny myself anything that would bring me pleasure. 2
So all my accomplishments gave me joy; 3
this was my reward for all my effort. 4
2:11 Yet when I reflected on everything I had accomplished 5
and on all the effort that I had expended to accomplish it, 6
I concluded: 7 “All these 8 achievements and possessions 9 are ultimately 10 profitless 11 –
like chasing the wind!
There is nothing gained 12 from them 13 on earth.” 14
