Ecclesiastes 9:5
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
