The King James Version Bible

Ecclesiastes 9:4-6

  1. For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
