Ecclesiastes 9:3
| ← Ecclesiastes 9:2 | Ecclesiastes 9:3 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 9:4 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
