Ecclesiastes 9:6

Their love also, their hatred also, their envy also, hath already perished, and they have no more a portion to the age in all that hath been done under the sun.

Young's Literal Translation

In The King James 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.

7Go, eat with joy thy bread, and drink with a glad heart thy wine, for already hath God been pleased with thy works.
