Listen to Ecclesiaste 2:10
10 Di tutto quello che i miei occhi desideravano io nulla rifiutai loro; non privai il cuore d’alcuna gioia; poiché il mio cuore si rallegrava d’ogni mia fatica, ed è la ricompensa che m’è toccata d’ogni mia fatica.

Ecclesiaste 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 2:10

And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them
Though this sense is only mentioned, all are designed; he denied himself of nothing that was agreeable to him, that was pleasing to the eye, to the ear, to the taste, or any other sense; he indulged himself in everything, observing a proper decorum, and keeping himself within the due bounds of sobriety and good sense; I withheld not my heart from any joy:
the Targum says, "from all joy of the law"; but it is to be understood of natural pleasure, and of the gratifications of the senses in a wise and moderate manner; for my heart rejoiced in all my labours;
he took all the pleasure that could be taken in the works he wrought for that purpose before enumerated; and this was my portion of all my labour;
pleasure was what he aimed at, and that he enjoyed; this was the fruit and issue of all his laborious works; the part allotted him, the inheritance he possessed, and the thing he sought after.

Ecclesiaste 2:10 In-Context

8 accumulai argento, oro, e le ricchezze dei re e delle province; mi procurai dei cantanti e delle cantanti, e ciò che fa la delizia de’ figliuoli degli uomini, delle donne in gran numero.
9 Così divenni grande, e sorpassai tutti quelli ch’erano stati prima di me a Gerusalemme; e la mia sapienza rimase pur sempre meco.
10 Di tutto quello che i miei occhi desideravano io nulla rifiutai loro; non privai il cuore d’alcuna gioia; poiché il mio cuore si rallegrava d’ogni mia fatica, ed è la ricompensa che m’è toccata d’ogni mia fatica.
11 Poi considerai tutte le opere che le mie mani avevano fatte, e la fatica che avevo durata a farle, ed ecco che tutto era vanitĂ  e un correr dietro al vento, e che non se ne trae alcun profitto sotto il sole.
12 Allora mi misi ad esaminate la sapienza, la follia e la stoltezza. Che farà l’uomo che succederà al re? Quello ch’è già stato fatto.
