Ecclesiastes 9:7-10

Common English Bible

⁷ Go, eat your food joyfully and drink your wine happily because God has already accepted what you do. ⁸ Let your garments always be white; don’t run short of oil for your head. ⁹ Enjoy life with your dearly loved spouse all the days of your pointless life that God^[a] gives you under the sun—all the days of your pointless life!^[b]—because that’s your part to play^[c] in this life and in your hard work under the sun. ¹⁰ Whatever you are capable of doing, do with all your might because there’s no work, thought, knowledge, or wisdom in the grave,^[d] which is where you are headed.
