Ecclesiastes 3:9-13

⁹What does the worker gain from his toil?

¹⁰I have seen the burden that God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them.

¹¹He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.

¹²I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,

¹³and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor — this is the gift of God.
