American King James Version
"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. "
— Ecclesiastes 9:5, American King James Version
“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 shall die: but the dead know not anything, 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 the memory of them is forgotten.”
“For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything; they have no further reward– and even the memory of them disappears.”
“For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more, neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten.”
“The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them.”
“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.”
All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifices not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that swears, as he that fears an oath.
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. ¶
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
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.
Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. ¶
Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God now accepts your works.
Let your garments be always white; and let your head lack no ointment.
