Job 24:20
New King James Version
20 The womb should forget him,
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
(A)He should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
Ecclesiastes 9:2-3
New International Version
2 All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad,[a] the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.
As it is with the good,
so with the sinful;
as it is with those who take oaths,
so with those who are afraid to take them.(A)
3 This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all.(B) The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live,(C) and afterward they join the dead.(D)

Ecclesiastes 9:2-3
New King James Version
2 (A)All things come alike to all:
One event happens to the righteous and the wicked;
To the [a]good, the clean, and the unclean;
To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice.
As is the good, so is the sinner;
He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath.
3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
