NET Bible
"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."
— Ecclesiastes 9:6, NET Bible
“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.”
“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 the unfortunate fact about everything that happens on earth: the same fate awaits everyone. In addition to this, the hearts of all people are full of evil, and there is folly in their hearts during their lives– then they die.
Better to Be Poor but Alive than Rich but Dead But whoever is among the living has hope; a live dog is better than a dead lion.
For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything; they have no further reward– and even the memory of them disappears.
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.
Life is Brief, so Cherish its Joys Go, eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, because God has already approved your works.
Let your clothes always be white, and do not spare precious ointment on your head.
Enjoy life with your beloved wife during all the days of your fleeting life that God has given you on earth during all your fleeting days; for that is your reward in life and in your burdensome work on earth.
