New Testament

Ecclesiastes 9:3-6 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

4. But for him who is joined to all the living there is 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,For the memory of them is forgotten.

6. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;Nevermore will they have a shareIn anything done under the sun.
