The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
<< Ecclesiastes 8 | Ecclesiastes 9 | Ecclesiastes 10 >>

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