Ecclesiastes 9:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything. They no longer have a reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten. ⁶ What they loved and hated, as well as what they desired, has already perished. They no longer have any share in what is done under the sun.

Enjoy Life While It Lasts

⁷ Go—eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart! For God already has approved your deeds.
