Ecclesiastes 5:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 Throughout his life (A)he also eats in darkness with (B)great vexation, sickness and anger.
18 Here is what I have seen to be (C)good and [a]fitting: to eat, to drink and [b]enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few [c]years of his life which God has given him; for this is his [d](D)reward. 19 Furthermore, as for every man to whom (E)God has given riches and wealth, He has also (F)empowered him to eat from them and to receive his [e]reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the (G)gift of God.
