“And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.”
The affirmation that it is God's gift for all people to eat, drink, and enjoy their labor reintroduces the theme of divine gratitude and providence. The phrase "it is his gift" emphasizes that joy and satisfaction come not through human merit or achievement but through God's gracious provision. This verse suggests that the proper response to the revelation of God's ordered design (3:1-11) is acceptance of the goods offered within that design, however modest by comparison to human ambition.
