5For 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.
10Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there...
perhaps you ought to read the preface of the Revised Standard Version. There it lists the many misleading word translations in the KJV that at the time of writing were correct, but these days have a completely different meaning. It is by no means an infallible translation of the Bible.
