Psalms 6:5
For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks?
-
Psalms 30:9
“ What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare 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 truth.The living, the living man, he shall praise You, As I do this day; The father shall make known Your truth to the children.

Job 14:7-12
“ For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease.Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground,Yet at the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant.But man dies and is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he?As water disappears from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dries up,So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep.

Isaiah 26:19
Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead.

Luke 7:12-16
And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her,“ Do not weep.”Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said,“ Young man, I say to you, arise.”So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying,“ A great prophet has risen up among us”; and,“ God has visited His people.”

Psalms 115:17
The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor any who go down into silence.
-
Mark 5:35-36
While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said,“ Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue,“ Do not 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 shall be changed.For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:“ Death is swallowed up in victory.”“ O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”The sting of death is sin, and the strength 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 came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.And He said to me,“ Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered,“ O Lord GOD, You know.”Again He said to me,“ Prophesy to these bones, and say to them,‘ O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones:“ Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”’”So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone.Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.Also He said to me,“ Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath,‘ Thus says the Lord God:“ Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.Then He said to me,“ Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say,‘ Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’Therefore prophesy and say to them,‘ Thus says the Lord GOD:“ Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves.I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’”
