Ecclesiastes 9:2-9

21It is the same for all. There is 2one fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and the unclean; for the person who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good person is, so is the sinner; the one who swears an oath is just as the one who 3is afraid to swear an oath. 3This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun, that there is 4one fate for everyone. Furthermore, 5the hearts of the sons of mankind are full of evil, and 6insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterward they go to the dead. 4For whoever is joined to all the living, there is hope; for better a live dog, than a dead lion. 5For the living know that they will die; but the dead 7do not know anything, nor do they have a reward any longer, for their 8memory is forgotten. 6Indeed their love, their hate, and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a 9share in all that is done under the sun.

7Go then, 10eat your bread in happiness, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works. 8See that your 11clothes are white all the time, and that there is no lack of 12oil on your head. 913Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of your 14futile life which He has given you under the sun, 15all the days of your futility; for this is your 16reward in life and in your work which you have labored under the sun.
