20 Judah and Israel were many, like the grains of sand that are by the sea for multitude,+ eating and drinking and rejoicing.*+

24 With a man there is nothing better [than] that he should eat and indeed drink and cause his soul to see good because of his hard work.+ This too I have seen, even I, that this is from the hand of the [true] God.*+

13 and also that every man* should eat and indeed drink and see good for all his hard work.+ It is the gift of God.+

22 And I have seen that there is nothing better than that the man should rejoice in his works,+ for that is his portion; because who will bring him in to look on what is going to be after him?+

22 They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be;+ and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full.+
