Wisdom 2:7 CPDV

⁵  For our time is like the passing of a shadow, and nothing can reverse our end, for it is signed and sealed, and cannot be returned.

⁶  Therefore, hurry, let us enjoy the good things of the present time, and let us quickly use up passing things, just as in youth.

⁷  Let us indulge ourselves with costly wine and ointments, and let no flower of youth pass us by.

⁸  Let us surround ourselves with rosebuds before they wither; let no meadow be left untouched by our indulgence.

⁹  Let no one among us be exempt from our indulgence. Let us leave behind tokens of enjoyment everywhere, for this is our portion, and this is fate.
