Wisdom 2:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Our time here is like a shadow passing by. There’s no turning back from death. It has been sealed, and no one will alter it.

⁶ Come then! Let’s enjoy all the good things of life now. Let’s enjoy creation to the fullest as we did in our youth. ⁷ Let’s drink our fill of expensive wines and enjoy fine perfumes. Let’s pluck every fresh blossom of spring as we pass by.
