Ecclesiastes 2:26
For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.Ecclesiastes 2:26 · WEB

- કેમ કે જે માણસો પર ઈશ્વર પ્રસન્ન છે તેઓને તે બુદ્ધિ જ્ઞાન તથા આનંદ આપે છે. પણ પાપીને તે ફોગટ પરિશ્રમ આપે છે જેથી ઈશ્વરને પ્રસન્ન કરનારને માટે તે ઢગલેઢગલા સંગ્રહ કરીને આપે, એ પણ વ્યર્થ તથા પવનથી મૂઠ્ઠી ભરવા જેવું છે.
- हिन्दी — सभोपदेशक २:२६
- जो मनुष्य परमेश्वर की दृष्टि में अच्छा है, उसको वह बुद्धि और ज्ञान और आनन्द देता है; परन्तु पापी को वह दुःख भरा काम ही देता है कि वह उसको देने के लिये संचय करके ढेर लगाए जो परमेश्वर की दृष्टि में अच्छा हो। यह भी व्यर्थ और वायु को पकड़ना है ।
In context
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.
25For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?
26For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
