⁷ Go, eat your food joyfully and drink your wine happily because God has already accepted what you do. ⁸ Let your garments always be white; don’t run short of oil for your head. ⁹ Enjoy life with your dearly loved spouse all the days of your pointless life that God^[a] gives you under the sun—all the days of your pointless life!^[b]—because that’s your part to play^[c] in this life and in your hard work under the sun.
