'Living' in the Bible

What advantage does man have from all his workWhich he does under the sun (while earthbound)?

So I congratulated and thought more fortunate are those who are already dead than the living who are still living.

I have seen all the living under the sun join with the second youth (the king’s acknowledged successor) who replaces him.

For what advantage has the wise man over the fool [for being worldly-wise is not the secret to happiness]? What advantage has the poor man who has learned how to walk [publicly] among the living [with men’s eyes on him; for being poor is not the secret to happiness either]?

For there are many other words that increase futility. What then is the advantage for a man?

It is better to go to the house of mourningThan 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.

Wisdom along with an inheritance is goodAnd an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun.

[There is no exemption,] but whoever is joined with all the living, has hope; surely a live dog is better than a dead lion.

For the living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they no longer have a reward [here], for the memory of them is forgotten.
