Ecclesiastes 2:24
Thomson 1808
[But, thou sayest,] Hath not a man something good which he can eat and drink, and which he can point out to his soul as a good by his labour?
With respect to that, I saw indeed that even this is from the hand of God;
Brenton 1851
A man has nothing really good to eat, and to drink, and to shew his soul as good in his trouble. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
Greek · Brenton
Οὐκ ἔστιν ἀγαθὸν ἀνθρώπῳ, ὃ φάγεται καὶ ὃ πίεται καὶ ὃ δείξει τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὸν ἐν μόχθῳ αὐτοῦ· καί γε τοῦτο εἶδον ἐγὼ ὅτι ἀπὸ χειρὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν·
