3. This is something wrong that happens here on earth: What happens to one happens to all. So people’s minds are full of evil and foolish thoughts while they live. After that, they join the dead.
4. But anyone still alive has hope; even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
5. The living know they will die,but the dead know nothing.Dead people have no more reward,and people forget them.
6. After people are dead,they can no longer love or hate or envy.They will never again sharein what happens here on earth.
7. So go eat your food and enjoy it;drink your wine and be happy,because that is what God wants you to do.
8. Put on nice clothesand make yourself look good.
9. Enjoy life with the wife you love. Enjoy all the useless days of this useless life God has given you here on earth, because it is all you have. So enjoy the work you do here on earth.
10. Whatever work you do, do your best, because you are going to the grave, where there is no working, no planning, no knowledge, and no wisdom.
