Enjoy Life with the One You Love
7 Go, (A)eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
8 (B)Let your garments be always white. Let not (C)oil be lacking on your head.
9 Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your (D)vain[a] life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your (E)portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.
