Ecclesiastes 2:23

New American Standard Bible

²³Because all his days his activity is painful and ^(A)irritating; even at night his ^[a]mind ^(B)does not rest. This too is futility.

Ecclesiastes 2:23

New International Version

²³All their days their work is grief and pain;^(A) even at night their minds do not rest.^(B) This too is meaningless.

¹²But beyond this, my son, be warned: the ^[a]writing of ^(A)many books is endless, and excessive ^(B)study is ^[b]wearying to the body.

¹²Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.

Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.^(A)
