16 It isn't right! We go just as we came. We labour, trying to catch the wind, and what do we get?
17 We have to live our lives in darkness and grief, worried, angry, and sick.
18 This is what I have found out: the best thing anyone can do is to eat and drink and enjoy what he has worked for during the short life that God has given him; this is man's fate.
19 If God gives a man wealth and property and lets him enjoy them, he should be grateful and enjoy what he has worked for. It is a gift from God.
20 Since God has allowed him to be happy, he will not worry too much about how short life is.
