4. Anyone who is among the living has hope – even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
5. For the living know that they will die,but the dead know nothing;they have no further reward,and even their name is forgotten.
6. Their love, their hateand their jealousy have long since vanished;never again will they have a partin anything that happens under the sun.
7. Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.
8. Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil.
