2. किसी मनुष्य को परमेश्वर धन सम्पत्ति और प्रतिष्ठा यहां तक देता है कि जो कुछ उसका मन चाहता है उसे उसकी कुछ भी घटी नहीं होती, तौभी परमशॆवर उसको उस में से खाने नहीं देता, कोई दूसरा की उसे खाता है; यह व्यर्थ और भयानक दु:ख है।
2. A man to whom God has given riches, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he might desire, yet God does not give him the power or capacity to enjoy them [things which are gifts from God], but a stranger [in whom he has no interest succeeds him and] consumes and enjoys them. This is vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility); it is a sore affliction! [Luke 12:20.]
