• Ecclesiastes 6:2
    The Bible in Living English

    • 2* a man to whom God gives riches and substance and honors, and he has no shortage of anything his appetites crave, and God does not give him the privilege of eating from it but some alien eats it; this is nonsense and a grievous disorder.

  • Ecclesiastes 6:2
    American Standard Version

    • 2 a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

  • Ecclesiastes 6:2
    The Emphasized Bible

    • 2 A man to whom God giveth riches and gains and honour so that nothing doth he lack for his soul—of all that he craveth and yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but a man unknown eateth it,—this was vanity and an incurable evil it was.

  • Ecclesiastes 6:2
    King James Version

    • 2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
