Ecclesiastes 2:25-26
1599 Geneva Bible
25 For who could eat, and who could haste to [a]outward things more than I?
26 Surely to a man that is good in his sight, God giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth pain to gather, and to heap to give to him that is good before God: this also is vanity, and vexation of the spirit.
