Ecclesiastes 8:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ And I also know it will not go well for evil people. Their lives will be like a brief shadow. They will not live very long. ¹⁴ But sometimes something senseless happens on earth. Bad things happen to good people. Good things happen to bad people. This is truly senseless. ¹⁵ So I decided it was more important to enjoy life. The best that people can do here on earth is to eat, drink and enjoy life. These joys will help people do the hard work God gives them here on earth.
