Contents Bible text: Ecclesiastes 9:3-10 Title: There is hope for the living.
Ecclesiastes 9:3-10.
3 The end of all is common; this is what is done under the sun.
It is the evil of all things, that the hearts of men are full of evil,
They have mad hearts all their days, and afterward they return to the dead. 4 There is hope for everyone who is among the living.
For a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5 The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing.
They receive no more reward, because their names are forgotten. 6 Their love and their hatred and their envy have long since passed away.
Of all things there is no part to go to them forever. 7 Go, eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a joyful heart.

That is your share of your toil under the sun all your days. 10 Wherever your hand finds work, do it with all your might.
There is no work, no plan, no knowledge, no wisdom in Sheol, where you are going.
