⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

⁹ What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

¹¹ Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?

¹⁷ The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.

¹⁰ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
