King James Version with Apocrypha
"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, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?”
“For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun? ”
“For what has a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?”
“Painful Days and Restless Nights What does a man acquire from all his labor and from the anxiety that accompanies his toil on earth?”
“For what profit shall a man have of all his labour, and vexation of spirit, with which he hath been tormented under the sun?”
“What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?”
And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
