‏ Ecclesiastes 2:23

v. 23: For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity (Ecclesiastes 2:23 ^a). The Preacher explains that many people are sad and troubled all their lives because of their work. They can’t even rest well at night because they keep thinking about their problems and worries. He repeats that this, too, is vanity—empty and meaningless—when life is lived without God.
