Ecclesiastes 5:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

Enjoy Your Life’s Work

¹⁸ I have seen what is best for people to do on earth: They should eat, drink, and enjoy the work they have during their short time here. God has given them these few days, and that is all they have.

¹⁹ If God gives some people wealth, property, and the power to enjoy those things, they should enjoy them. They should accept the things they have and enjoy their work—that is a gift from God. ²⁰ People don’t have many years to live, so they must remember these things all their life. God will keep them busy with the work they love to do.^[a]
