Psalm 146:4
Modern English Version
4 His breath leaves him, and he returns to the earth;

Ecclesiastes 9:4-6
Modern English 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 The living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no more reward,
for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 What they loved, hated,
and envied has already perished;
and there is no reward for them from long ago
in everything that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Modern English Version
10 Whatever your hands find to do, do with your strength; for there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, the place where you are going.
