Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ [There is no exemption] but he who is joined to all the living has hope—for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

⁵ For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; and they have no more reward [here], for the memory of them is forgotten.

⁶ Their love and their hatred and their envy have already perished; neither have they any more a share in anything that is done under the sun.
