2:11 Yet when I reflected on everything I had accomplished 1
and on all the effort that I had expended to accomplish it, 2
I concluded: 3 “All these 4 achievements and possessions 5 are ultimately 6 profitless 7 –
like chasing the wind!
There is nothing gained 8 from them 9 on earth.” 10
2:26 For to the one who pleases him, 11 God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy,
but to the sinner, he gives the task of amassing 12 wealth 13 –
only to give 14 it 15 to the one who pleases God.
This 16 task of the wicked 17 is futile – like chasing the wind!
