Ecclesiastes 9:6-7
New English Translation

6 What they loved,[a] as well as what they hated[b] and envied,[c] perished long ago,
and they no longer have a part in anything that happens on earth.[d]

Life is Brief, so Cherish its Joys

7 Go, eat your food[e] with joy,
and drink your wine with a happy heart,
because God has already approved your works.
