Ecclesiastes 2:24-25

MSG

NIV

24 The best you can do with your life is have a good time and get by the best you can. The way I see it, that's it - divine fate.
24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,
25 Whether we feast or fast, it's up to God.
25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
