Ecclesiastes 5:19 in Context — Ecclesiastes 5

17 Além disso, ele comeu em trevas todos os seus dias; sofreu muito, e teve enfermidades e irritações.

18 Eis o que eu vi, algo bom e belo: comer, beber, e experimentar o que é bom de todo o seu trabalho em que trabalhou abaixo do sol, durante os dias de sua vida, que Deus lhe deu; porque isto é a parte que lhe pertence.

19 E todo homem a quem Deus deu riquezas e bens, e lhe deu poder para comer delas, e tomar sua parte, e se alegrar de seu trabalho; isto é presente de Deus.

20 Pois ele não se lembrará muito dos dias de sua vida, porque Deus lhe responde com alegria de seu coração.
