I know there is nothing better for us than to be joyful
and to do good throughout our lives;
to eat and drink and see the good in all of our hard work is a gift from God.

And so I heartily recommended that you pursue joy,
for the best a person can do under the sun is to enjoy life.
Eat, drink, and be happy.
If this is your attitude, joy will carry you through the toil
every day that God gives you under the sun.

So go ahead. Eat your food with joy,
and drink your wine with a happy heart,
for God approves of this!
