Ecclesiastes 9:5
| ← Ecclesiastes 9:4 | Ecclesiastes 9:5 (KJV) | Ecclesiastes 9:6 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
