'Nothing' in the Bible
What has been--it is what will be; what has been done--it is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.
Yet when I considered all the effort which I expended and the toil with which I toiled to do, then behold, "Everything [is] vanity and chasing wind! There is nothing profitable under the sun!"
There is nothing better for a person than to eat and drink and {find delight} in his toil. For I also realized that this [is] from the hand of God!
So I realized that there is {nothing better} for them than to {rejoice and enjoy themselves} during their lives.
I know everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, and nothing can be taken from it, for God so acts that humans might stand in awe before him.
So I concluded that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy [the fruit of] his labor, for this is his lot in life. {For no one knows what will happen in the future.}
{The fool refuses to work with his hands, so he has nothing to eat except his own skin}!
When prosperity increases, those who consume it increase. {So its owner gains nothing, except to see his wealth before it is spent}.
That wealth was lost in a bad venture. Although he has borne a child, {he has nothing to leave to him}.
Just as he came from his mother's womb naked, {he will depart} just as he came; he will take nothing with him for his toil.
God gives a man wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires; yet God does not enable him to enjoy it--instead someone else ends up enjoying it. This [is] vanity--indeed, it [is] a grievous ill!
So I recommend enjoyment. For there [is] nothing better for man under the sun than to eat and to drink and to rejoice. This will accompany him in his toil the days of his life that God gives to him under the sun.
