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, King James Version
“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 knoweth 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 sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, 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 thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
