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 9:3

9:3 This is the unfortunate fact⁸ about everything that happens on earth:⁹

the same fate awaits¹⁰ everyone.

In addition to this, the hearts of all people¹¹ are full of evil,

and there is folly in their hearts during their lives – then they die.¹²
