“What gain is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?
I will not die, but live, And tell of the works of the Lord.
For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol, who will praise You?
I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity, planning, knowledge, or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.
“For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
