Ecc 9:5-6 | NET2full | STEP | For the living know that they will die , but the dead do not know anything ; they have no further reward

‏ Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything;
they have no further reward—and even the memory of them disappears. ^{▼▼tn Heb “for their memory is forgotten.” The pronominal suffix is an objective genitive, “memory of them.”}
6 What they loved, ^{▼▼tn Heb “their love.”} as well as what they hated ^{▼▼tn Heb “their hatred.”} and envied, ^{▼▼tn Heb “their envy.”} perished long ago,
and they no longer have a part in anything that happens on earth. ^{▼▼tn Heb “under the sun.”}
