Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

4 But he who is joined with 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 ^athe dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for ^bthe memory of them is forgotten. 6 Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.
