In context

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?

26To the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner He assigns the task of gathering and accumulating that which he will hand over to one who pleases God. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
