Ecclesiastes 9:5-7
Living Bible
5 For the living at least know that they will die! But the dead know nothing ; they don’t even have their memories.[a] 6 Whatever they did in their lifetimes—loving, hating, envying—is long gone, and they have no part in anything here on earth anymore. 7 So go ahead, eat, drink, and be merry, for it makes no difference to God!

- Ecclesiastes 9:5 But the dead know nothing; they don’t even have their memories. These statements are Solomon’s discouraged opinion and do not reflect a knowledge of God’s truth on these points. Also v. 10.
