כִּי־מִי אֲשֶׁר יבחר אֶל כָּל־הַחַיִּים יֵשׁ בִּטָּחוֹן כִּֽי־לְכֶלֶב חַי הוּא טוֹב מִן־הָאַרְיֵה הַמֵּֽת
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
כִּי הַֽחַיִּים יוֹדְעִים שֶׁיָּמֻתוּ וְהַמֵּתִים אֵינָם יוֹדְעִים מְאוּמָה וְאֵֽין־עוֹד לָהֶם שָׂכָר כִּי נִשְׁכַּח זִכְרָֽם
For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
גַּם אַהֲבָתָם גַּם־שִׂנְאָתָם גַּם־קִנְאָתָם כְּבָר אָבָדָה וְחֵלֶק אֵין־לָהֶם עוֹד לְעוֹלָם בְּכֹל אֲשֶֽׁר־נַעֲשָׂה תַּחַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ
As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is long ago perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
לֵךְ אֱכֹל בְּשִׂמְחָה לַחְמֶךָ וּֽשֲׁתֵה בְלֶב־טוֹב יֵינֶךָ כִּי כְבָר רָצָה הָאֱלֹהִים אֶֽת־מַעֲשֶֽׂיךָ
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, And drink thy wine with a merry heart; For God hath already accepted thy works.
בְּכָל־עֵת יִהְיוּ בְגָדֶיךָ לְבָנִים וְשֶׁמֶן עַל־רֹאשְׁךָ אַל־יֶחְסָֽר
Let thy garments be always white; And let thy head lack no oil.
