Ecclesiastes 9:6-8
New International Version
6 Their love, their hate
and their jealousy have long since vanished;
never again will they have a part
in anything that happens under the sun.(A)
7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine(B) with a joyful heart,(C) for God has already approved what you do. 8 Always be clothed in white,(D) and always anoint your head with oil.
