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

Verse 13 is found in chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes. Qohelet asks what benefit a worker gains from his labor and states that God has given humanity a task that cannot be fully grasped. The eternity placed in the human heart contrasts with the inability to understand the entirety of God’s work. The wisdom response is not to solve the mystery, but to recognize that enjoying the good received and accepting the limits of knowledge are part of an ordered life before God.

Denn ein jeglicher Mensch, der da ißt und trinkt und hat guten Mut in aller seiner Arbeit, das ist eine Gabe Gottes.
Y también que es don de Dios que todo hombre coma y beba, y goce el bien de toda su labor.
y que todo hombre coma, beba y disfrute del bien de todo su trabajo es un don de Dios.
mais que, si un homme mange et boit et jouit du bien-être au milieu de tout son travail, c'est là un don de Dieu.
Ed anche che ogni uomo mangi e beva; e, con ogni sua fatica, goda del bene, è dono di Dio.
E também que todo o homem coma e beba, e goze do bem de todo o seu trabalho; isto é um dom de Deus.
並且人人吃喝,在他的一切勞碌中享福,這也是上帝的賞賜。
