Ecclesiastes 2:24–26

24 fThere is nothing better for a person than that he should geat and drink and find enjoyment1 in his toil. This also, I saw, is hfrom the hand of God, 25 for apart from him2 who can eat or who can have enjoyment? 26 For to the one who pleases him iGod has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given ethe business of gathering and collecting, jonly to give to one who pleases God. kThis also is vanity and a striving after wind.


Ecclesiastes 9:7–10

Enjoy Life with the One You Love

Go, keat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.

lLet your garments be always white. Let not moil be lacking on your head.

Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your nvain1 life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your oportion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, pdo it with your might,2 qfor there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
