'Dead' in the Bible

So I commended the dead who had already died as being happier than the living who are still alive.

There is a tragedy that infects everything that happens on earth: a common event happens to everyone. In fact, the hearts of human beings are full of evil. Madness remains in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.

"While someone is among the living, hope remains," because "it is better to be a living dog than to be a dead lion."

At least the living know they will die, but the dead know nothing; they no longer have a reward, since memory about them has been forgotten.

As dead flies cause the perfumer's ointment to stink, so also does a little foolishness to one's reputation of wisdom and honor.
