Ecclesiastes 11:6-8
English Standard Version
6 In the morning sow your seed, and at evening (A)withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.
7 Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to (B)see the sun.
8 So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember (C)that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is (D)vanity.[a]
