Thematic Bible: The sinners' portion


Thematic Bible



After all, to the person who is good in God's sight, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner he gives the troublesome task of acquiring and accumulating in order to leave it to someone who is good in the sight of God. This also is pointless and chasing after the wind.

It's better to have one handful of tranquility than to have two handfuls of trouble and to chase after the wind.
