Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

Desesperado, abandoné entonces el trabajo arduo, como respuesta a mi búsqueda de satisfacción. Pues hay quienes pasan la vida en busca de sabiduría, conocimientos y habilidad, para luego dejárselo todo a quien no se ha esforzado ni un día de su vida. Esto no sólo es necio sino injusto. Así pues, ¿qué obtiene el ser humano de toda su ardua labor? Días llenos de tristeza y dolor, y noches inquietas y amargas. Todo es absolutamente ridículo.
