Ecclesiastes 5:16-18
English Standard Version
16 This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what (A)gain is there to him who (B)toils for the wind? 17 Moreover, all his days he (C)eats in darkness in much vexation and sickness and anger.
18 Behold, what I have seen to be (D)good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment[a] in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his (E)lot.
