NET Bible
"For no one can eat and drink or experience joy apart from him."
— Ecclesiastes 2:25, NET Bible
“For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?”
“For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I? ”
“For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?”
“Who shall so feast and abound with delights as I?”
“Who may take food or have pleasure without him?”
“For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?”
Painful Days and Restless Nights What does a man acquire from all his labor and from the anxiety that accompanies his toil on earth?
For all day long his work produces pain and frustration, and even at night his mind cannot relax! This also is futile!
Enjoy Work and its Benefits There is nothing better for people than to eat and drink, and to find enjoyment in their work. I also perceived that this ability to find enjoyment comes from God.
For no one can eat and drink or experience joy apart from him.
For to the one who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner, he gives the task of amassing wealth– only to give it to the one who pleases God. This task of the wicked is futile– like chasing the wind!
