Ecclesiastes 9:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Yes, the living know they are going to die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward; they are completely forgotten. ⁶ Their loves, their hates, their passions, all died with them. They will never again take part in anything that happens in this world.

⁷ Go ahead—eat your food and be happy; drink your wine and be cheerful. It's all right with God.
