11 My son, if you have the means, treat yourself well,and enjoy life as best you can.
12 Remember that death does not delay,and you have not been told the grave’s appointed time.
13 Before you die, be good to your friends;give them a share in what you possess.
14 Do not deprive yourself of good things nowor let a choice portion escape you.
15 Will you not leave your riches to others,and your earnings to be divided by lot?
16 Give and take, treat yourself well,for in Sheol there are no joys to seek.
17 All flesh grows old like a garment;the age-old law is: everyone must die.
