Ecclesiastes 8:14-15
Christian Standard Bible
14 There is a futility that is done on the earth: there are righteous people who get what the actions of the wicked deserve,(A) and there are wicked people who get what the actions of the righteous deserve.(B) I say that this too is futile. 15 So I commended enjoyment because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat, drink, and enjoy himself,(C) for this will accompany him in his labor during the days of his life that God gives him under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 8:14-15
English Standard Version
Man Cannot Know God's Ways
14 There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people (A)to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people (B)to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. 15 And I commend joy, for man (C)has nothing better under the sun but to (D)eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
