Ecclesiastes 5:20
World English Bible (WEB)
For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
In context
18 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
20 For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
