Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

⁴For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

⁵For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.

⁶Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither do they any longer have a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.
