Ecclesiastes 3:13

Context

3:13 and also that everyone should eat and drink, and find enjoyment in all his toil,

for these things 1  are a gift from God.

Ecclesiastes 12:14

Context

12:14 For God will evaluate every deed, 2 

including every secret thing, whether good or evil.

1 tn Heb “for it.” The referent of the 3rd person feminine singular independent person pronoun (“it”) is probably the preceding statement: “to eat, drink, and find satisfaction.” This would be an example of an anacoluthon (GKC 505-6 §167.b). Thus the present translation uses “these things” to indicate the reference back to the preceding.

2 tn Heb “will bring every deed into judgment.”
