Enjoy Work and its Benefits

2:24 There is nothing better for105 people106 than107 to eat and drink,

and to find enjoyment108 in their109 work.

I also perceived that this ability to find enjoyment110 comes from God.111

2:25 For no one112 can eat and drink113

or experience joy114 apart from him.115

2:26 For to the one who pleases him,116 God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy,

but to the sinner, he gives the task of amassing117 wealth118—

only to give119 it120 to the one who pleases God.

This121 task of the wicked122 is futile—like chasing the wind!
