Wisdom 2:5 In-Context

3 When it is extinguished, the body will turn to ashes, and the spirit will dissolve like empty air.

4 Our name will be forgotten in time and no one will remember our works; our life will pass away like the traces of a cloud, and be scattered like mist that is chased by the rays of the sun and overcome by its heat.

5 For our allotted time is the passing of a shadow, and there is no return from our death, because it is sealed up and no one turns back.

6 "Come, therefore, let us enjoy the good things that exist, and make use of the creation to the full as in youth.

7 Let us take our fill of costly wine and perfumes, and let no flower of spring pass by us.
