Ecclesiastes 9:5

MSG

NIV

5 The living at least know something, even if it's only that they're going to die. But the dead know nothing and get nothing. They're a minus that no one remembers.
5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.
