American King James Version
"For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. "
— Ecclesiastes 9:4, American King James Version
“For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.”
“For to him that is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. ”
“For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.”
“Better to Be Poor but Alive than Rich but Dead But whoever is among the living has hope; a live dog is better than a dead lion.”
“There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion.”
“For him who is joined to all the living there is hope; a living dog is better than a dead lion.”
“For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.”
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knows either love or hatred by all that is before them.
All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifices not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that swears, as he that fears an oath.
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. ¶
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. ¶
Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God now accepts your works.
