5:18 I have seen personally what is the only beneficial and appropriate course of action for people: 1
to eat and drink, 2 and find enjoyment in all their 3 hard work 4 on earth 5
during the few days of their life which God has given them,
for this is their reward. 6
5:19 To every man whom God has given wealth, and possessions,
he has also given him the ability 7
to eat from them, to receive his reward and to find enjoyment in his toil;
these things 8 are the gift of God.
8:8 Just as no one has power over the wind to restrain it, 9
so no one has power over the day of his 10 death.
Just as no one can be discharged during the battle, 11
so wickedness cannot rescue the wicked. 12
