American King James Version
"All his days also he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. ¶ "
— Ecclesiastes 5:17, American King James Version
“All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.”
“All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed, and hath sickness and wrath. ”
“All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.”
“Surely, he ate in darkness every day of his life, and he suffered greatly with sickness and anger.”
“This therefore hath seemed good to me, that a man should eat and drink, and enjoy the fruit of his labour, wherewith he hath laboured under the sun, all the days of his life, which God hath given him: and this is his portion.”
“All his days are in the dark, and he has much sorrow, pain, disease, and trouble.”
“All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.”
But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he that has labored for the wind?
All his days also he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. ¶
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for it is his portion.
Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answers him in the joy of his heart.
