Then I faced on all my works that my hands had done, and on the labor that I had labored to do. And, behold, all is vanity and striving after wind, and there is no profit under the sun.

For God gives wisdom, and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight. But to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and to heap up, to give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and striving after wind.
