In context

21When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great evil.

22For what does a man get for all the toil and striving with which he labors under the sun?

23Indeed, all his days are filled with grief, and his task is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.

24Nothing is better for a man than to eat and drink and enjoy his work. I have also seen that this is from the hand of God.

25For apart from Him, who can eat and who can find enjoyment?
