10 Bible Verses about Death Is Universal

For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

It is better to go to the house of mourning
Than to go to the house of feasting,
For that [day of death] is the end of every man,
And the living will take it to heart and solemnly ponder its meaning.

“For I know that You will bring me to death
And to the house of meeting [appointed] for all the living.

“The small and the great are there,
And the servant is free from his master.

For he sees that even wise men die;
The fool and the stupid alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.

For there is no [more] lasting remembrance of the wise man than of the fool, since in the days to come all will be long forgotten. And how does the wise man die? Even as the fool!

“One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and quiet and satisfied;

What man can live and not see death?
Can he rescue his soul from the [powerful] hand of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead)? Selah.

Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice over and yet has seen no good and experienced no enjoyment—do not both go to one place [the grave]?”

Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry [of heartache and sorrow] in Egypt, for there was no house where there was not someone dead.
