Ecclesiastes 2:23 in Context — Ecclesiastes 2
21 ¡Que el hombre trabaje con sabiduría, y con ciencia, y con rectitud, y que haya de dar su hacienda á hombre que nunca trabajó en ello! También es esto vanidad y mal grande.
22 Porque ¿qué tiene el hombre de todo su trabajo, y fatiga de su corazón, con que debajo del sol él se afanara?
23 Porque todos sus días [no] son [sino] dolores, y sus trabajos molestias: aun de noche su corazón no reposa. Esto también es vanidad.
24 No hay cosa mejor para el hombre [sino] que coma y beba, y que su alma vea el bien de su trabajo. También tengo yo visto que esto es de la mano de Dios.
25 Porque ¿quién comerá, y quién se cuidará, mejor que yo?
