Ecclesiastes 9:7
“Go your way--eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.”
Verse in context — Ecclesiastes 9
For the living know that they will die, but the dead don't know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.
Go your way--eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.
Let your garments be always white, and don't let your head lack oil.
Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity: for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.
