Ecclesiastes 9:10-12
Christian Standard Bible
10 Whatever your hands find to do, do with all your strength,(A) because there is no work, planning, knowledge, or wisdom(B) in Sheol where you are going.

New International Version
10 Whatever(A) your hand finds to do, do it with all your might,(B) for in the realm of the dead,(C) where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.(D)

or favor to the learned;

12 Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come:
