Ecclesiastes 6:2

The Message Bible (MSG)

There are people, for instance, on whom God showers everything--money, property, reputation--all they ever wanted or dreamed of. And then God doesn't let them enjoy it. Some stranger comes along and has all the fun. It's more of what I'm calling smoke. A bad business.
— Ecclesiastes 6:2 (MSG)
