Ecclesiastes 9:7-11

⁷Go, eat your bread with mirth, and drink your wine with a joyful heart; for now God has favourably accepted your works.

⁸Let your garments be always white; and let not oil be lacking on your head.

⁹And see life with the wife whom you love all the days of the life of your vanity, which are given you under the sun: for that is your portion in your life, and in your labor wherein you labor under the sun.

¹⁰Whatsoever your hand shall find to do, do with all your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Hades wither you go.

¹¹I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet wealth to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of knowledge; for time and chance will happen to them all.
