Wisdom 2:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ For our time is as the passing of a shadow, and there is no going back of our end: for it is fast sealed, and no man returneth.

⁶ Come therefore, and let us enjoy the good things that are present, and let us speedily use the creatures as in youth.

⁷ Let us fill ourselves with costly wine, and ointments: and let not the flower of the time pass by us.
