Ανθρωπος, εις τον οποιον ο Θεος εδωκε πλουτον και υπαρχοντα και δοξαν, ωστε δεν στερειται η ψυχη αυτου απο παντων οσα ηθελεν επιθυμησει· πλην ο Θεος δεν εδωκεν εις αυτον εξουσιαν να τρωγη εξ αυτων, αλλα τρωγει αυτα ξενος· και τουτο ματαιοτης και ειναι νοσος κακη.

Ecclesiastes 6:2 · GRK

Translations

ASV

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.

BBE

A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.

GRK

Ανθρωπος, εις τον οποιον ο Θεος εδωκε πλουτον και υπαρχοντα και δοξαν, ωστε δεν στερειται η ψυχη αυτου απο παντων οσα ηθελεν επιθυμησει· πλην ο Θεος δεν εδωκεν εις αυτον εξουσιαν να τρωγη εξ αυτων, αλλα τρωγει αυτα ξενος· και τουτο ματαιοτης και ειναι νοσος κακη.

KJV

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.
