Ecclesiastes 3:9
Ecclesiastes 3:9 New Living Translation (NLT)
What do people really get for all their hard work?
Ecclesiastes 3:9 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
What gain has the worker from his toil?
Ecclesiastes 3:9-13 The Message (MSG)
But in the end, does it really make a difference what anyone does? I’ve had a good look at what God has given us to do—busywork, mostly. True, God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time—but he’s left us in the dark, so we can never know what God is up to, whether he’s coming or going. I’ve decided that there’s nothing better to do than go ahead and have a good time and get the most we can out of life. That’s it—eat, drink, and make the most of your job. It’s God’s gift.
