but do not forget Ecclesiastes 12:6,7 6 Remember [your Creator]—before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, 7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. I do not think that Ecc 9:5 means that there is nothing after death, rather that after you die, you no longer are rewarded for what you did in life.
