'Dead' in the Bible

So I considered those who are dead and gone more fortunate than those who are still alive.

But whoever is among the living has hope; a live dog is better than a dead lion.

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.

One dead fly makes the perfumer's ointment give off a rancid stench, so a little folly can outweigh much wisdom.
