But athe dead know nothing,
And they have no more reward,
For bthe memory of them is forgotten.
But athe dead know nothing,
And they have no more reward,
For bthe memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;
Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun.
Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun.
7 Go, aeat your bread with joy,
And drink your wine with a merry heart;
For God has already accepted your works.
And drink your wine with a merry heart;
For God has already accepted your works.
8 Let your garments always be white,
And let your head lack no oil.
And let your head lack no oil.
9 1Live 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; afor that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.
10 aWhatever your hand finds to do, do it with your bmight; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.
