Pengkhotbah 2:26

2:26 For to the one who pleases him,¹ God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy,

but to the sinner, he gives the task of amassing² wealth³ –

only to give⁴ it⁵ to the one who pleases God.

This⁶ task of the wicked⁷ is futile – like chasing the wind!

Pengkhotbah 4:4

Labor Motivated by Envy

4:4 Then I considered⁸ all the skillful work⁹ that is done:

Surely it is nothing more than¹⁰ competition¹¹ between one person and another.¹²

This also is profitless – like¹³ chasing the wind.
