ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
