Quotation su Ecclesiaste 5:19

This phrase could mean, "God afflicts him in the rejoicing of his heart." “Ma’aneh” could mean either “answer” or “afflict”. In other words, what appears as success to a person may in fact be a superficial, temporal reward which is actually preparation for a harsher outcome in another world (that is, from another perspec¬tive). Compare, for example Psalm 92 where it speaks about the fact that a fool cannot understand that when the wrong-doers blossom it is only so that they can be destroyed.
