Ecclesiastes 9:9
Parallel Strong's
Berean Study Bible
Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun— all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.

Young's Literal Translation
See life with the wife whom thou hast loved, all the days of the life of thy vanity, that He hath given to thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity, for it [is] thy portion in life, even of thy labour that thou art labouring at under the sun.

King James Bible
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that [is] thy portion in [this] life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
