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.
