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.

12 For who knows what is good for man while he lives the ^ffew days of his ^gvain¹ life, which he passes ^hlike a shadow? For ⁱwho can tell man what will be after him under the sun?
