Holman Christian Standard Bible
For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything. There is no longer a reward for them because the memory of them is forgotten.

New American Standard Bible
For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten.

King James Bible
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. International Standard Version
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.

American Standard Version
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Young's Literal Translation
For the living know that they die, and the dead know not anything, and there is no more to them a reward, for their remembrance hath been forgotten.Ecclesiastes 9:5 • Ecclesiastes 9:5 NIV • Ecclesiastes 9:5 NLT • Ecclesiastes 9:5 ESV • Ecclesiastes 9:5 NASB • Ecclesiastes 9:5 KJV • Ecclesiastes 9:5 Commentaries • Ecclesiastes 9:5 Bible Apps • Ecclesiastes 9:5 Biblia Paralela • Ecclesiastes 9:5 Chinese Bible • Ecclesiastes 9:5 French Bible • Ecclesiastes 9:5 German Bible
