Ecclesiastes 5:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ I have seen what is good. It is good for a person to eat and drink. It’s good for them to be satisfied with their hard work on this earth. That’s what they should do during the short life God has given them. That’s what God made them for. ¹⁹ Sometimes God gives a person wealth and possessions. God makes it possible for that person to enjoy them. God helps them accept the life he has given them. God helps them to be happy in their work. All these things are gifts from God. ²⁰ A person like that doesn’t have to think about how their life is going. That’s because God fills their heart with joy.
