Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

⁶ Also, their love and their hatred and their envy have now perished. And they have no more part in all that is done under the Sun, forever.
