Ecclesiastes 2:24

2:24

[There is] nothing better
<02896>

for a man
<0120>_,

[than] that he should eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8804)_,

and [that] he should make his soul
<05315>

enjoy
<07200> (8689)

good
<02896>

in his labour
<05999>_.

This
<02090>

also I saw
<07200> (8804)_,

that it [was] from the hand
<03027>

of God
<0430>_.

{should make...: or, delight his senses}

Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

3:12

I know
<03045> (8804)

that [there is] no good
<02896>

<08055> (8800)_,

and to do
<06213> (8800)

good
<02896>

in his life
<02416>_.

And also that every man
<0120>

should eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8804)_,

and enjoy
<07200> (8804)

the good
<02896>

of all his labour
<05999>_,

it [is] the gift
<04991>

of God
<0430>_.

Ecclesiastes 3:22

3:22

Wherefore I perceive
<07200> (8804)

that [there is] nothing better
<02896>_,

than that a man
<0120>

should rejoice
<08055> (8799)

in his own works
<04639>_;

for that [is] his portion
<02506>_:

for who shall bring
<0935> (8686)

him to see
<07200> (8800)

what shall be after
<0310>

him?

<0398> (8800)

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

and to enjoy
<07200> (8800)

the good
<02896>

of all his labour
<05999>

that he taketh
<05998> (8799)

under the sun
<08121>

all
<04557>

the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_,

which God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8804)

Go thy way
<03212> (8798)_,

eat
<0398> (8798)

thy bread
<03899>

with joy
<08057>_,

and drink
<08354> (8798)

thy wine
<03196>

with a merry
<02896>

heart

Live
<02416>

joyfully
<07200> (8798)

with the wife

whom thou lovest
<0157> (8804)

all the days
<03117>

of the life
<02416>

of thy vanity

which he hath given
<05414> (8804)

thee under the sun
<08121>_,

all the days
<03117>

of thy vanity
<01892>_:

for that [is] thy portion
<02506>

in [this] life
<02416>_,

and in thy labour
<05999>

which thou takest
<06001>

under the sun
<08121>_.

9:1

For all this I considered
<05414> (8804)

in my heart
<03820>

even to declare
<0952> (8800)

all this, that the righteous
<06662>_,

and the wise
<02450>_,

and their works
<05652>_,

[are] in the hand

<0120>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

either
<01571>

love
<0160>

or hatred
<08135>

[by] all [that is] before
<06440>

them. {I considered...: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart}

they, which hath not yet

the evil

work

work
<04639>_,

that for this a man
<0376>

is envied
<07068>

of his neighbour
<07453>_.

This [is] also vanity
<01892>

and vexation

of spirit
<07307>_.
