Parallel ECC 9:9

---

OEB Enjoy thy life with the woman thou lovest,
 ⇔ All the days of thy fleeting life,
 ⇔ Which He hath given thee under the sun.
 ⇔ For that is thy reward in thy life of laborious toil
 ⇔ under the sun.

WEBBE 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 labour in which you labour under the sun.

WMBB (Same as above)

MSG ^(7-10)Seize life! Eat bread with gusto,
Drink wine with a robust heart.
Oh yes—God takes pleasure in your pleasure!
Dress festively every morning.
Don’t skimp on colors and scarves.
Relish life with the spouse you love
Each and every day of your precarious life.
Each day is God’s gift. It’s all you get in exchange
For the hard work of staying alive.
Make the most of each one!
Whatever turns up, grab it and do it. And heartily!
This is your last and only chance at it,
For there’s neither work to do nor thoughts to think
In the company of the dead, where you’re most certainly headed.
