Ecclesiastes 9:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ Always look happy and cheerful. ⁹ Enjoy life with the one you love, as long as you live the useless life that God has given you in this world. Enjoy every useless day of it, because that is all you will get for all your trouble. ¹⁰ Work hard at whatever you do, because there will be no action, no thought, no knowledge, no wisdom in the world of the dead—and that is where you are going.
