Ecclesiastes 2:10

10 And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my ereward for all my toil.


Ecclesiastes 2:24

24 rThere is nothing better for a person than that he should seat and drink and find enjoyment1 in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God,


Ecclesiastes 3:22

22 So I saw that lthere is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his mlot. nWho can bring him to see what will be after him?


Ecclesiastes 5:18–20

18 Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to meat and drink and find enjoyment1 in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the nfew days of his life that God has given him, for this is his olot. 19 Everyone also to whom God has given pwealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—qthis is the gift of God. 20 For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.


Ecclesiastes 9:9–10

9 Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your wvain1 life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your xportion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. 10 yWhatever your hand finds to do, zdo it with your might,2 for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
