Ecclesiastes 11:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Begin planting early in the morning,
    and don’t stop working until evening.
This is because you don’t know which things you do will succeed.
    It is even possible that everything you do will succeed.

⁷ It is good to be alive
    to enjoy the light of day.
⁸ A person ought to enjoy every day of his life.
    This is true no matter how long he lives.
But he should also remember this:
    You will be dead much longer than you live.
    After you are dead, you accomplish nothing.
