Ecclesiastes 5:18

To everyone whom God (Elohim) has given wealth and prosperity, He has also given the ability to rule over it [Matt 6:24]—to eat from it, receive one’s share (reward), and take joy in one’s work—this [all of this—enjoying what God has given, see also Eccl 2:24–26] is God’s (Elohim’s) gift.
