Ecclesiastes 5:20
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For a man seldom considers the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the joy of his heart.
In context
18 Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of life that God has given him—for this is his lot.
19 Furthermore, God has given riches and wealth to every man, and He has enabled him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to rejoice in his labor. This is a gift from God.
20 For a man seldom considers the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the joy of his heart.
