In context
4For who is he that has fellowship with all the living? There is hope of him: For a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5For the living will know that they shall die: But the dead know nothing, And there is no longer any reward to them; For their memory is lost.
— Ecclesiastes 9:6 —
7Go, eat thy bread with mirth, And drink thy wine with a joyful heart; For now God has favorably accepted thy works.
8Let thy garments be always white; And let not oil be wanting on thy head.
