For one who is chosen to be among all the living, there is hope. For a living dog is better than a dead lion.

For the living know that they shall die; but the dead do not know anything; nor do they have any more a reward, for their memory is forgotten.

Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has now perished; nor do they any longer have a part forever in all that is done under the sun.

Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God now is pleased with your works.

Let your garments be white at every time; and let your head lack no ointment.

Look on life with the wife whom you love all the days of the life of your vanity, which He gave you under the sun, all the days of your vanity. For that is your share in this life, and in your labor which you as a laborer do under the sun.

All that your hand finds to do, do it with your strength. For there is no work, or planning, or knowledge, or wisdom, in Sheol, there where you go.
