Ecclesiastes 9:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 9
5 Les vivants, en effet, savent qu’ils mourront; mais les morts ne savent rien, et il n’y a pour eux plus de salaire, puisque leur mémoire est oubliée.
6 Et leur amour, et leur haine, et leur envie, ont déjà péri; et ils n’auront plus jamais aucune part à tout ce qui se fait sous le soleil.
7 Va, mange avec joie ton pain, et bois gaiement ton vin; car dès longtemps Dieu prend plaisir à ce que tu fais.
8 Qu’en tout temps tes vêtements soient blancs, et que l’huile ne manque point sur ta tête.
9 Jouis de la vie avec la femme que tu aimes, pendant tous les jours de ta vie de vanité, que Dieu t’a donnés sous le soleil, pendant tous les jours de ta vanité; car c’est ta part dans la vie, au milieu de ton travail que tu fais sous le soleil.
