Latin
3Do not fear death’s decree for you;
remember those who went before you and those who will come after.*
4This is the Lord’s decree for all flesh;
why, then, should you reject the will of the Most High?
Whether life lasts for ten years or a hundred or a thousand,
there are no questions asked in Hades.
