Ecclesiastes 9:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ The living know they will die,
    but the dead know nothing.
Dead people have no more reward,
    and ·people forget them [^Lthe memory of them is forgotten].
⁶ ·After people are dead,
    they can no longer love or hate or envy [^LTheir love, their hate, and their jealousy have already perished].
They will ·never again share [^Lhave no portion]
    in what happens ·here on earth [^Lunder the sun; 1:3].
