And they shall build houses, and inhabit[ them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree[ are] the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they[ are] the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

Behold[ that] which I have seen:[ it is] good and comely[ for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it[ is] his portion.Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this[ is] the gift of God.For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth[ him] in the joy of his heart.

Judges 6:3-6
And[ so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude;[ for] both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
