Ecclesiastes 9:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Always wear white clothes to show you are happy. Anoint your head with olive oil. ⁹ You love your wife. So enjoy life with her. Do it all the days of this meaningless life God has given you on earth. That’s what he made you for. That’s what you get for all your hard work on earth. ¹⁰ No matter what you do, work at it with all your might. Remember, you are going to the place of the dead. And there isn’t any work or planning or knowledge or wisdom there.
