Ecclesiastes 8:14-15:
"There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless. So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun."

What a terrible rendering, what perversion is that?
14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

Thanks for the information. Surely something better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. |

Few do, HAL. Only those granted access to the Book of Murdoch for $59.99 a month may know of what Frank speaks. |
Very clever, David

Possibly one of these:

Seriously, though, it's the NIV.
