Ecclesiastes 9:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Go, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a cheerful heart: for God now [a]accepteth thy works.
8 At all times let thy garments be [b]white, and let not oil be lacking upon thine head.
9 [c](A)Rejoice with the wife whom thou hast loved all the days of the life of thy vanity, which God hath given thee under the sun all the days of thy vanity: for this is thy portion in the life, and in thy travail wherein thou laborest under the sun.
