'Eat' in the Bible
There is nothing better for people than to eat and drink, and to find enjoyment in their work. I also perceived that this ability to find enjoyment comes from God.
For no one can eat and drink or experience joy apart from him.
and also that everyone should eat and drink, and find enjoyment in all his toil, for these things are a gift from God.
The fool folds his hands and does no work, so he has nothing to eat but his own flesh.
I have seen personally what is the only beneficial and appropriate course of action for people: to eat and drink, and find enjoyment in all their hard work on earth during the few days of their life which God has given them, for this is their reward.
To every man whom God has given wealth, and possessions, he has also given him the ability to eat from them, to receive his reward and to find enjoyment in his toil; these things are the gift of God.
So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God gives him on earth.
Go, eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, because God has already approved your works.
