For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.

כִּ֧י הַֽחַיִּ֛ים יֹודְעִ֖ים שֶׁיָּמֻ֑תוּ וְהַמֵּתִ֞ים אֵינָ֧ם יֹודְעִ֣ים מְא֗וּמָה וְאֵֽין־עֹ֤וד לָהֶם֙ שָׂכָ֔ר כִּ֥י נִשְׁכַּ֖ח זִכְרָֽם׃

Comes to mark against your name,

But how you played the game.
