Ecclesiastes 9:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ Dress up, comb your hair, and look your best. ⁹ Life is short, and you love your wife, so enjoy being with her. This is what you are supposed to do as you struggle through life on this earth. ¹⁰ Work hard at whatever you do. You will soon go to the world of the dead, where no one works or thinks or reasons or even knows anything.
