Ecclesiastes 9:4
Thomson 1808
Because whoever is in society with all the living hath hope—because the dog which is alive is better than the lion which is dead—
Brenton 1851
For who is he that has fellowship with all the living? there is hope of him: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Greek · Brenton
Ὅτι τίς ὃς κοινωνεῖ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς ζῶντας; ἔστιν ἐλπὶς, ὅτι ὁ κύων ὁ ζῶν αὐτὸς ἀγαθὸς ὑπὲρ τὸν λέοντα τὸν νεκρόν·
