16 This too is a grievous affliction: Exactly as a man is born, so he will depart. What does he gain as he toils for the wind {ruach}?

17 Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.

18 Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of life that God {Elohim} has given him—for this is his lot.

19 Furthermore, God {Elohim} has given riches and wealth to every man, and He has enabled him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to rejoice in his labor. This is a gift from God.

20 For a man seldom considers the days of his life, because God {Elohim} keeps him occupied with the joy of his heart.
