Ecclesiastes 9:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.
