Ecclesiastes 9
V4Anyone who is among the living has hope – even a dog is better off than a dead lion! V5 for the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. V7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful hear, for God has already approved what you do.
An encouragement.
V12 no one knows when their hour will come, as fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.
