Ecclesiastes 9:3-5

21st Century King James Version

³ This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun: that there is one event that happeneth unto all. Yea, also the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live; and after that they go to the dead.

⁴ For him that 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 shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
