The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. What they loved, hated, and envied has already perished; and there is no reward for them from long ago in everything that is done under the sun. Go and eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a pleasant heart; for God is already pleased with your deeds. At all times may your clothing be white, and let not oil ever lack on your head. Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun; because that is your reward in life and in your toil because you have labored under the sun. Whatever your hands find to do, do with your strength; for there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, the place where you are going.
