Ecclesiastes 9:2-9

2All things come alike to all: One event happens to the righteous and the wicked; To the good, the clean, and the unclean; To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath.

3This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

4But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

5For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.

6Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun.

7Go, eat your bread with joy, And drink your wine with a merry heart; For God has already accepted your works.

8Let your garments always be white, And let your head lack no oil.

9Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.
