Ecclesiastes 8:14-15
World English Bible
14 There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. 15 Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat, to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

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.
