'Reward' in the Bible
And nothing which was desired by my eyes did I keep from them; I did not keep any joy from my heart, because my heart took pleasure in all my work, and this was my reward.
And for every man to take food and drink, and have joy in all his work, is a reward from God.
So I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to have joy in his work--because that is his reward. Who will make him see what will come after him?
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work.
As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.
This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.
There is a thing which is to no purpose done on the earth: that there are good men to whom is given the same punishment as those who are evil, and there are evil men who get the reward of the good. I say that this again is to no purpose.
The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them.
And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come to all.
