§ 02 · King James Bible

Ecclesiastes 6:2

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.

Simple English

A man with lots of money, possessions, and respect from others has everything he wants in life, but God allows someone else to enjoy his wealth instead. This is pointless and a bad situation.
