Ecclesiastes 9:4-6
4 Anyone who is among the living has hope—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
5
For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
and even the memory of them is forgotten.
6
Their love, their hate
and their jealousy have long since vanished;
never again will they have a part
in anything that happens under the sun.
