Ecclesiastes 9:7-10
7Go then, 1eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works. 8Let your 2clothes be white all the time, and let not 3oil be lacking on your head. 9Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your 45fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun6; for this is your 7reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.
10Whatever your hand finds to do, 8do it with all your might; for there is no 9activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in 10Sheol where you are going.
