Eclesiastés 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 ) .

Eclesiastés 3:13 In-Context

11 Dios hizo todo hermoso en su momento, y puso en la mente humana el sentido del tiempo, aun cuando el hombre no alcanza a comprender la obra que Dios realiza de principio a fin.
12 Yo sé que nada hay mejor para el hombre que alegrarse y hacer el bien mientras viva;
13 y sé también que es un don de Dios que el hombre coma o beba, y disfrute de todos sus afanes.
14 Sé además que todo lo que Dios ha hecho permanece para siempre; que no hay nada que añadirle ni quitarle; y que Dios lo hizo así para que se le tema.
15 Lo que ahora existe, ya existía;y lo que ha de existir, existe ya.Dios hace que la historia se repita.
