3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “dead” →
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
