Eclesiastes 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 3:10

I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of
men
The pains and trouble they are at to get a little wisdom and knowledge, ( Ecclesiastes 1:13 ) ; and so to obtain riches and honour, peace and plenty, which sometimes they do obtain, and sometimes not; and when they do, do not keep them long, for there is a time for everything. This the wise man had observed, in a variety of instances; and he considered the end of God in it, which was for men to be exercised in it,
or "by it"; or "to afflict" or "humble [them] by it" F12; to let them see that all their toil and labour signified little; all depended on a divine blessing, and no happiness was to be had in the creatures; all was vanity and vexation of spirit; (See Gill on Ecclesiastes 1:13).

9 Que proveito tem o trabalhador naquilo em que trabalha?
10 Tenho visto o trabalho penoso que Deus deu aos filhos dos homens para nele se exercitarem.
11 Tudo fez formoso em seu tempo; também pôs na mente do homem a idéia da eternidade, se bem que este não possa descobrir a obra que Deus fez desde o princípio até o fim.
12 Sei que não há coisa melhor para eles do que se regozijarem e fazerem o bem enquanto viverem;
