Unconsciousness
in Death
Psalms
6v5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the
grave who shall give thee thanks?
Psalms
88v10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead
arise and praise thee? Selah.
88v11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or
thy faithfulness in destruction?
88v12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness
in the land of forgetfulness?
Psalms
115v17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that
go down into silence.
Psalms
146v3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of
man, in whom there is no help.
146v4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in
that very day his thoughts perish.
Ecclesiastes
9v1 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare
all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works,
are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred
by all that is before them.
9v2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the
righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean,
and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that
sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he
that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
9v3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the
sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart
of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their
heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
9v4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope:
for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
9v5 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.
9v6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is
now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever
in any thing that is done under the sun.
9v7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine
with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
9v8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack
no ointment.
9v9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days
of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under
the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion
in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the
sun.
9v10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;
for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom,
in the grave, whither thou goest.
Turning
to Dust
Genesis
3v17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened
unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it:
cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat
of it all the days of thy life;
3v18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;
and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
3v19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for
dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

10v9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me
as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

again unto dust.

ye children of men.

away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

turn to dust again.

12v7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Death
as a Sleep
Deuteronomy
31v16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt
sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and
go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land,
whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and
break my covenant which I have made with them.
Job
7v21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and
take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust;
and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Job
14v12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens
be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their
sleep.
Psalms
13v3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine
eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Daniel
12v2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth
shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt.
Matthew

dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
John
11v11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto
them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake

do well.

he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

13v36 For David, after he had served his own generation
by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers,
and saw corruption:

among you, and many sleep.
1
Corinthians 15v6 After that, he was seen of above five
hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain
unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
15v51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
Ephesians
5v14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and
arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
1
Thessalonians 4v14 For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him.
1
Thessalonians 5v10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake
or sleep, we should live together with him.
