Ecclesiastes 9:4
Compare all
2 aAll things come alike to all:
One event happens to the1 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.  
3 This 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.
4 But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5 For the living know that they will die;
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.
7 Go, aeat your bread with joy,
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.
