7 Go, ^keat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.

8 ^lLet your garments be always white. Let not ^moil be lacking on your head.

9 Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your ⁿvain¹ life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your ^oportion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.
