Ecclesiastes 5:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Behold then, what I have seen good, that it is comely to [a]eat, and to drink, and to take pleasure in all his labor, wherein he travaileth under the sun, the whole number of the days of his life, which God giveth him: for this is his portion.
18 Also to every man to whom God hath given riches and treasures, and giveth him power to eat thereof, and to take his part, and to enjoy his labor: this is the gifts of God.
19 Surely he will not much remember the days of his [b]life, because God answereth to the joy of his heart.
