Ecclesiastes 9:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ This evil is in all that is done under the sun: one fate comes to all. Also the hearts of men are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

⁴ [There is no exemption] but he who is joined to all the living has hope—for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

⁵ For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; and they have no more reward [here], for the memory of them is forgotten.
