I also know that whatever God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken away from it. God has made it this way, so that men will fear him.

So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God gives him on earth.

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.

I have concluded that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to enjoy themselves as long as they live,

So I perceived there is nothing better than for people to enjoy their work, because that is their reward; for who can show them what the future holds?
