Psalms 6:5
For there is no remembrance of you in death; who can thank you in Sheol?
-
Psalms 30:9
“ What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth?
-
Isaiah 38:18-19
For Sheol cannot thank you; Death cannot praise you. Those who go down to the Pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.The living, only the living can thank you, as I do today; a father will make your faithfulness known to children.

Job 14:7-12
There is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its shoots will not die.If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump starts to die in the soil,the scent of water makes it thrive and produce twigs like a sapling.But a person dies and fades away; he breathes his last— where is he?As water disappears from a lake and a river becomes parched and dry,so people lie down never to rise again. They will not wake up until the heavens are no more; they will not stir from their sleep.

Isaiah 26:19
Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For you will be covered with the morning dew, and the earth will bring out the departed spirits.

Luke 7:12-16
Just as he neared the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the town was also with her.When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said,“ Don’t weep.”Then he came up and touched the open coffin, and the pallbearers stopped. And he said,“ Young man, I tell you, get up!”The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.Then fear came over everyone, and they glorified God, saying,“ A great prophet has risen among us,” and“ God has visited his people.”

Psalms 115:17
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any of those descending into the silence of death.
-
Mark 5:35-36
While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said,“ Your daughter is dead. Why bother the teacher anymore?”When Jesus overheard what was said, he told the synagogue leader,“ Don’t be afraid. Only believe.”

1 Corinthians 15 52-1 Corinthians 15 57
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.For this corruptible body must be clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body must be clothed with immortality.When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: Death has been swallowed up in victory.Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting?The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Ezekiel 37:1-14
The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by his Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones.He led me all around them. There were a great many of them on the surface of the valley, and they were very dry.Then he said to me,“ Son of man, can these bones live?” I replied,“ Lord GOD, only you know.”He said to me,“ Prophesy concerning these bones and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will live.I will put tendons on you, make flesh grow on you, and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you so that you come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”So I prophesied as I had been commanded. While I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.As I looked, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.He said to me,“ Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man. Say to it: This is what the Lord GOD says: Breath, come from the four winds and breathe into these slain so that they may live!”So I prophesied as he commanded me; the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, a vast army.Then he said to me,“ Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look how they say,‘ Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’Therefore, prophesy and say to them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them, my people, and lead you into the land of Israel.You will know that I am the LORD, my people, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I am the LORD. I have spoken, and I will do it. This is the declaration of the LORD.’”
