Ecclesiastes 9:4-6
New King James Version
4 But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5 For the living know that they will die;
But (A)the dead know nothing,
And they have no more reward,
For (B)the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;
Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun.

He shall take them away (C)as with a whirlwind,
As in His living and burning wrath.
Job 21:32-34

And a vigil kept over the tomb.
33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him;
(A)Everyone shall follow him,
As countless have gone before him.
34 How then can you comfort me with empty words,
Since [a]falsehood remains in your answers?”

When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
