Ecclesiastes 9:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ This is evil among all that is done under the Sun, that there is one condition for all. Also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live. And after that, they go to the dead.

⁴ Surely, whoever is joined to all the living has hope. For it is better to be a living dog than a dead lion.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing at all. Nor do they have a reward anymore. For their remembrance is forgotten.
