6 What they loved, hated,and envied has already perished;and there is no reward for them from long agoin everything that is done under the sun.
7 Go and eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a pleasant heart; for God is already pleased with your deeds.
8 At all times may your clothing be white, and let not oil ever lack on your head.
9 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.
10 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.
11 Again I saw under the sun that— the race is not to the swift,nor the battle to the strong,nor food to the wise,nor riches to the intelligent,nor favor to those with knowledge;but time and chance happen to them all.
12 For man does not know his time: Like fish caught in an unfortunate net,like birds caught in a snare,so the sons of men are ensnared at a tragic, yet appointed time,when it suddenly falls on them.
