— Ecclesiastes 5:20, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. ”
“For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. ”
“For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life; because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.”
“For he does not think much about the fleeting days of his life because God keeps him preoccupied with the joy he derives from his activity.”
“He will not give much thought to the days of his life; because God lets him be taken up with the joy of his heart.”
“For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. ”
And so, this has seemed good to me: that a person should eat and drink, and should enjoy the fruits of his labor, in which he has toiled under the sun, for the number of the days of his life that God has given him. For this is his portion.
And this is a gift from God: that every man to whom God has given wealth and resources, and to whom he has granted the ability to consume these, may enjoy his portion, and may find joy in his labors.
And then he will not fully remember the days of his life, because God occupies his heart with delights.
