Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 - It Is Best To Simply Enjoy The Passing Pleasures Of Life As Reward For Pleasing God
24 Is it not better then for a man to eat and drink, and his soul to be merry in his labour? Yea I saw that this also was a gift of God: 25 For who will eat or go more lustily to his work than I? 26 He giveth unto man, what it pleaseth him; whether it be wisdom, understanding, or gladness. But unto the sinner he giveth weariness and sorrow, that he may gather and heap together the thing, that afterward shall be given unto him whom it pleaseth God. This is now a vain thing, yea a very disquietness and vexation of mind.
