Ecclesiastes 3:11 in context
9What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

13And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
