Ecclesiastes 5:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 And this also is an evil sickness, that in all points as he came, so shall he go, and what profit hath he that he hath travailed for the [a]wind?
16 Also all his days he eateth in [b]darkness with much grief, and in his sorrow and anger.
17 Behold then, what I have seen good, that it is comely to [c]eat, and to drink, and to take pleasure in all his labor, wherein he travaileth under the sun, the whole number of the days of his life, which God giveth him: for this is his portion.
