3
This is a very great evil among all things that are done under the sun, that the same things happen to all men: whereby also the hearts of the children of men are filled with evil, and with contempt while they live, and afterwards they shall be brought down to hell.
4
There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5
For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more, neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten.
6
Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy are all perished, neither have they any part in this world, and in the work that is done under the sun.
7
Go then, and eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with gladness: because thy works please God.
