Wisdom 2:6-8

Good News Translation

^6 (A)The wicked say,
    Come on, then, let's enjoy the good things of life, and live in this world the way we did when we were young and free of care! ⁷ Let's drink the most expensive wines and use the finest perfumes. Let's not miss a single flower in the springtime! ⁸ Before the roses wither, let's pick them and wear them in our hair!
