Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 8 of Ecclesiastes. Qohelet observes an apparent moral contradiction: wicked people may receive honors and be buried with respect, while righteousness does not always receive immediate reward. The delay of judgment may encourage some to persist in evil. Nevertheless, the author maintains that ultimately there will be a distinction between those who fear God and those who do not. God’s work remains partly inaccessible to human understanding.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
