Wisdom 2:6

6 Come then! Let's enjoy all the good things of life now. Let's enjoy creation to the fullest as we did in our youth.

Wisdom 2:6 In-Context

4 Over time, our names will be forgotten. No one will remember our deeds. Our lives will pass away like the last wisps of a cloud. Our lives will be dispersed like a morning mist chased away by the sun and weighed down by the day's heat.

5 Our time here is like a shadow passing by. There's no turning back from death. It has been sealed, and no one will alter it.

6 Come then! Let's enjoy all the good things of life now. Let's enjoy creation to the fullest as we did in our youth.

7 Let's drink our fill of expensive wines and enjoy fine perfumes. Let's pluck every fresh blossom of spring as we pass by.

8 Let's crown ourselves with rosebuds before they wither.
