“So I commend enjoyment.
There is nothing better for people
Under the sun
Than to eat and drink.
Let them enjoy themselves.
This will go with them
In their toil
Through the days of life
That God gives him
Under the sun.”
Qoheleth has a response to all this ambiguity that was also found with Job. His recommendation is that they should enjoy yourselves. There is nothing better under the sun than to eat and drink. Enjoy your labor under the sun during all the days of your life that God has given you. Just relax and enjoy life.
