Ecclesiastes 9:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Go then, and eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with gladness: because thy works please God.

⁸ At all times let thy garments be white, and let not oil depart from thy head.

⁹ Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest, all the days of thy unsteady life, which are given to thee under the sun, all the time of thy vanity: for this is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherewith thou labourest under the sun.
