પોતાનું સર્વ કામ સફળતાથી કરવા માટે પોતાની બુદ્ધિનો ઉપયોગ કરીને માણસ દુનિયામાં પરિશ્રમ કરે છે પણ તેમાંથી તેને શું ફળ પ્રાપ્ત થાય છે?

मनुष्य जो सूर्य के नीचे मन लगा लगाकर परिश्रम करता है उससे उसको क्या लाभ होता है?

In context

20Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.

21For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

22For what does a man have of all his labor and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?

23For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

24There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
