Ecclesiastes 9:5-10
5ForH3588 the livingH2416 knowH3045 that they will dieH4191, but the deadH4191 knowH3045 nothingH369H3972. They have noH369 furtherH5750 rewardH7939, becauseH3588 the memoryH2143 of them is forgottenH7911. 6Their loveH160H1571, their hateH8135H1571, andH1571 their envyH7068 have alreadyH3528 vanishedH6, and they will never again haveH369H5750H5769 a shareH2506 in allH3605 thatH834 is doneH6213 underH8478 the sunH8121.
7GoH1980, eatH398 your breadH3899 with joyH8057, and drinkH8354 your wineH3196 with a cheerfulH2896 heartH3820, forH3588 GodH430 has alreadyH3528 approvedH7521 your worksH4639:
9EnjoyH7200 lifeH2416 withH5973 your belovedH157 wifeH802 allH3605 the daysH3117 of the fleetingH18921 lifeH2416 thatH834 God has givenH5414 you underH8478 the sunH8121—allH3605 your fleetingH1892 daysH3117. ForH3588 thisH1931 is your portionH2506 in lifeH2416 and in your laborH5999 underH8478 the sunH8121. 10WhateverH3605 you findH4672 to doH6213 with your handsH3027, doH6213 it with all your mightH3581, forH3588 in SheolH7585, whereH834 youH859 are goingH1980, there isH8033 noH369 workH4639 or planningH2808 or knowledgeH1847 or wisdomH2451.
