⁷ All the labour of man `is' for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled.

²⁶ A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused `him' to bend over it.

²⁵ `Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?

²⁷ work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- `even' God.'

⁶ but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment;

⁷ for nothing did we bring into the world -- `it is' manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;

⁸ but having food and raiment -- with these we shall suffice ourselves;

¹⁷ And to the man He said, `Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed `is' the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,

¹⁸ and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;

¹⁹ by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou `art', and unto dust thou turnest back.'

¹⁰ Whoso is loving silver is not satisfied `with' silver, nor he who is in love with stores `with' increase. Even this `is' vanity.

³ If a man doth beget a hundred, and live many years, and is great, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from the goodness, and also he hath not had a grave, I have said, `Better than he `is' the untimely birth.'

¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
