Matthew Poole and continuators on Ecclesiastes 9:7

7 Go thy way , eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart : for God now accepteth thy works .

Make this use of what I have said.

Thine own, the fruit of thy own labours, not what thou takest unjustly from others.

Necessary and convenient food. By which he excludes excess.

Chearfully and thankfully enjoy thy comforts, avoiding all distracting care and grief for the occurrences of this World.

Is gracious to thee, hath blessed thy labours with success, and alloweth thee a comfortable enjoyment of his blessings.
