For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.

Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun. Ecclesiastes 9:6 NIV

Anyone who is among the living has hope —even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! Ecclesiastes 9:4 NIV
