4There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion.
4There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion.
1 All these things have I considered in my heart, that I might carefully understand them: there are just men and wise men, and their works are in the hand of God: and yet man knoweth not whether he be worthy of love, or hatred:
2 But all things are kept uncertain for the time to come, because all things equally happen to the just and to the wicked, to the good and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him that offereth victims, and to him that despiseth sacrifices. As the good is, so also is the sinner: as the perjured, so he also that sweareth truth.
3 This is a very great evil among all things that are done under the sun, that the same things happen to all men: whereby also the hearts of the children of men are filled with evil, and with contempt while they live, and afterwards they shall be brought down to hell.
4 There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5 For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more, neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy are all perished, neither have they any part in this world, and in the work that is done under the sun.
9:4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
9:4Anyone who is among the living has hope -even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
9:4For to him that is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

9:4But to him who is joined unto all the living there is confidence, for to a living dog it is better than to the dead lion.
