So I realized then that the best thing we can do is enjoy what we have worked for. There is nothing else we can do. There is no way for us to know what will happen after we die.

It is useless; it is like chasing the wind. It is better to be satisfied with what you have than to be always wanting something else.

Young people, enjoy your youth. Be happy while you are still young. Do what you want to do, and follow your heart's desire. But remember that God is going to judge you for whatever you do.

The woman saw how beautiful the tree was and how good its fruit would be to eat, and she thought how wonderful it would be to become wise. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he also ate it.

some of the heavenly beings saw that these young women were beautiful, so they took the ones they liked.

He went back home and told his father and mother, "There is a Philistine woman down at Timnah who caught my attention. Get her for me; I want to marry her."

I have made a solemn promise never to look with lust at a woman.

Keep me from paying attention to what is worthless; be good to me, as you have promised.

Your money can be gone in a flash, as if it had grown wings and flown away like an eagle.

Everything that belongs to the world---what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of---none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world.

You work and worry your way through life, and what do you have to show for it?

Here is what I have found out: the best thing we can do is eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for during the short life that God has given us; this is our fate.

Enjoy life with the one you love, as long as you live the useless life that God has given you in this world. Enjoy every useless day of it, because that is all you will get for all your trouble.

Your work will provide for your needs; you will be happy and prosperous.
