Ecclésiaste 3:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 3:13

And also that every man should eat and drink
Not to excess, but in moderation; and yet freely, plentifully, and cheerfully; and not alone, but giving the poor a portion with him; and in all having in view the glory of God, ( 1 Corinthians 10:31 ) ; and enjoy the good of all his labour;
take the comfort of what he has been labouring for, and not lay it up for, and leave it to, he knows not who: the Targum is,

``and see good in his days, and cause his children, at the time of his death, to inherit all his labour;''
it [is] the gift of God;
not only to have, but to enjoy, and make a proper use of the mercies of life. This is the same doctrine which is delivered ( Ecclesiastes 2:24 ) .

Ecclésiaste 3:13 In-Context

11 Il fait toute chose bonne en son temps; mĂȘme il a mis dans leur coeur la pensĂ©e de l'Ă©ternitĂ©, bien que l'homme ne puisse pas saisir l'oeuvre que Dieu fait, du commencement jusqu'Ă  la fin.
12 J'ai reconnu qu'il n'y a de bonheur pour eux qu'Ă  se rĂ©jouir et Ă  se donner du bien-ĂȘtre pendant leur vie;
13 mais que, si un homme mange et boit et jouit du bien-ĂȘtre au milieu de tout son travail, c'est lĂ  un don de Dieu.
14 J'ai reconnu que tout ce que Dieu fait durera toujours, qu'il n'y a rien Ă  y ajouter et rien Ă  en retrancher, et que Dieu agit ainsi afin qu'on le craigne.
15 Ce qui est a déjà été, et ce qui sera a déjà été, et Dieu ramÚne ce qui est passé.
