⁵ For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

¹⁴ They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

¹¹ There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

²¹ His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

¹⁶ For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

¹⁰ Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.

¹¹ Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

¹² Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

²⁷ And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

¹⁵ Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹⁶ Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
