Ecclesiastes 9:9

7 Go, ^aeat your bread with joy,
And drink your wine with a merry heart;
For God has already accepted your works.

8 Let your garments always be white,
And let your head lack no oil.

9 ¹Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; ^afor that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.

10 ^aWhatever your hand finds to do, do it with your ^bmight; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

11 I returned ^aand saw under the sun that—
The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and ^bchance happen to them all.
