Ecclesiastes 9:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all; and also that the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

⁴ ¶ For to him that is still among the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die, but the dead do not know any thing; neither do they have any more reward, for their memory is placed into oblivion.
