"Likewise, love and hatred and envy have all perished together, nor have they any place in this age and in the work which is done under the sun. "
— Ecclesiastes 9:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.”
“As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun. ”
“Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.”
“What they loved, as well as what they hated and envied, perished long ago, and they no longer have a part in anything that happens on earth.”
“Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy are all perished, neither have they any part in this world, and in the work that is done under the sun.”
“Their love and their hate and their envy are now ended; and they have no longer a part for ever in anything which is done under the sun.”
“Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.”
This is a very great burden among all things that are done under the sun: that the same things happen to everyone. And when the hearts of the sons of men are filled with malice and contempt in their lives, afterwards they shall be dragged down to hell.
There is no one who lives forever, or who even has confidence in this regard. A living dog is better than a dead lion.
For the living know that they themselves will die, yet truly the dead know nothing anymore, nor do they have any recompense. For the memory of them is forgotten.
Likewise, love and hatred and envy have all perished together, nor have they any place in this age and in the work which is done under the sun.
So then, go and eat your bread with rejoicing, and drink your wine with gladness. For your works are pleasing to God.
Let your garments be white at all times, and let not oil be absent from your head.
Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your uncertain life which have been given to you under the sun, during all the time of your vanity. For this is your portion in life and in your labor, with which you labor under the sun.
