Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ ¶ For to him that is still among the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die, but the dead do not know any thing; neither do they have any more reward, for their memory is placed into oblivion.

⁶ Even their love and their hatred and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more a portion in the age in any thing that is done under the sun.
