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 hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in 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.
