Ecclesiastes 6:2

A man whom God (Elohim) has given prosperity and respect so that he wants nothing (more) for his soul (appetite – Hebr. nefesh) of all he desires, yet God (Elohim) does not give him the strength to eat thereof, but a stranger eats it. This is vanity [Eccles. 1:2] and it is an evil disease.

אִישׁ   אֲשֶׁר   יִתֶּן   לוֹ   הָאֱלֹהִים   עֹשֶׁר   וּנְכָסִים   וְכָבוֹד   וְאֵינֶנּוּ   חָסֵר   לְנַפְשׁוֹ   מִכֹּל   אֲשֶׁר   יִתְאַוֶּה   וְלֹא   יַשְׁלִיטֶנּוּ   הָאֱלֹהִים   לֶאֱכֹל   מִמֶּנּוּ   כִּי   אִישׁ   נָכְרִי   יֹאכֲלֶנּוּ   זֶה   הֶבֶל   וָחֳלִי   רָע   הוּא  

Greek Septuagint (LXX), Read from left to right

ἀνήρ ᾧ δώσει αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς πλοῦτον καὶ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ δόξαν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑστερῶν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐπιθυμήσει καὶ οὐκ ἐξουσιάσει αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ φαγεῖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἀνὴρ ξένος φάγεται αὐτόν τοῦτο ματαιότης καὶ ἀρρωστία πονηρά ἐστιν
