Ecclesiastes 9:5-10

5For the living knowH3045 that they shall dieH4191: but the deadH4191 knowH3045 not anythingH3972, neither have they any more a rewardH7939; for the memoryH2143 of them is forgottenH7911. 6As wellH1571 their loveH160, as their hatredH8135 and their envyH7068, is perishedH6 longH5769 agoH5769; neither have they any more a portionH2506 for everH5769 in anything that is done under the sunH8121.

7Go thy way, eatH398 thy breadH3899 with joyH8057, and drinkH8354 thy wineH3196 with a merry heartH3820; for GodH430 hath alreadyH3528 acceptedH7521 thy worksH4639. 8Let thy garmentsH899 beH1961 always whiteH3836; and let not thy headH7218 lackH2637 oilH8081. 9Live joyfully with the wifeH802 whom thou lovest all the daysH3117 of thy life of vanityH1892, which he hath givenH5414 thee under the sunH8121, all thy daysH3117 of vanityH1892: for that is thy portionH2506 in life, and in thy laborH5999 wherein thou laborest under the sunH8121. 10Whatsoever thy handH3027 findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no workH4639, nor device, nor knowledgeH1847, nor wisdomH2451, in SheolH7585, whither thou goest.
