Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ Now, whoever is still joined to all the living has hope, because a living dog is better than a dead lion. ⁵ At least the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. ⁶ Their love, their hate, and their envy have already perished, and they will never again take part in anything done under the sun.
