Ecclesiastes 8:13-15

The Voice

¹³ and it will not go well for the wicked nor will their days grow long like evening shadows because they do not stand in awe of God.

¹⁴ Here is another example of the fleeting nature of our world: there are just people who get what the wicked deserve; there are wicked people who get what the just deserve. I say this, too, is fleeting. ¹⁵ And so I heartily recommended that you pursue joy, for the best a person can do under the sun is to enjoy life. Eat, drink, and be happy. If this is your attitude, joy will carry you through the toil every day that God gives you under the sun.
