Isaiah 38:18
New King James Version
18 For (A)Sheol cannot thank You,
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
Job 14:7-12
New King James Version
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.
10 But man dies and [a]is laid away;
Indeed he [b]breathes his last
And where is (A)he?
11 As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,
12 So man lies down and does not rise.
(B)Till the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep.
Luke 16:26-29
New King James Version
26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, (A)‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’

New King James Version
8 (A)For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
Though he may gain much,
If God takes away his life?
