Ecclesiastes 4:2
Thomson 1808
Therefore I praised the whole body of the dead—those who were already dead, above the living—
Brenton 1851
and I praised all the dead that had already died more than the living, as many as are alive until now.
Greek · Brenton
Καὶ ἐπῄνεσα ἐγὼ σύμπαντας τοὺς τεθνηκότας τοὺς ἤδη ἀποθανόντας ὑπὲρ τοὺς ζῶντας, ὅσοι αὐτοὶ ζῶσιν ἕως τοῦ νῦν.
