Ecclesiastes 9:3-5
Christian Standard Bible
3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: there is one fate for everyone. In addition, the hearts of people are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live;(A) after that they go to the dead. 4 But there is hope for whoever is joined[a] with all the living, since a live dog is better than a dead lion. 5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything. There is no longer a reward for them because the memory of them is forgotten.(B)
