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. 8See that your 2clothes are white all the time, and that there is no lack of 3oil on your head. 94Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of your 5futile life which He has given you under the sun, 6all the days of your futility; for this is your 7reward in life and in your work which you have labored under the sun.
10Whatever your hand finds to do, 8do it with all your might; for there is no 9activity, planning, knowledge, or wisdom in 10Sheol where you are going.
