Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him back to see what shall be after him?

So I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to have joy in his work--because that is his reward. Who will make him see what will come after him?

Ειδον λοιπον οτι δεν ειναι καλητερον, ειμη το να ευφραινηται ο ανθρωπος εις τα εργα αυτου· διοτι αυτη ειναι η μερις αυτου· επειδη τις θελει φερει αυτον δια να ιδη το γενησομενον μετ' αυτον;

Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
