What is the profit to a man in all his labor which he labors under the sun?

What profit does he have who works in that in which he labors?

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with gain. This also is vanity.

When the goods increase, those who eat it increase; what profit is it, then, to its owners, except to see it with their eyes?

All his days he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not satisfied.

For what has the wise more than the fool? What does the poor have, who knows how to walk before the living?

Then I praised gladness, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat and to drink and to be glad; for that shall remain with him of his labor for the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

He who labors, labors for himself, for his mouth craves it of him.

And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

Better is a hand filled with rest than two hands full with travail and striving of spirit.

There is one alone, without a second; indeed, he has neither son nor brother; yet there is no end to all his labor; and his eyes are not satisfied with riches; and he does not ask, For whom do I labor and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity; indeed, it is an evil task.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His beloved sleep.

Give us this day our bread sufficient for this day.

Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.

And do not seek what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor be agitated.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares about you.
