Ecclesiastes 9:3-6 - Where There's Life, There's Hope

³ This was a misfortune in all that was done under the sun, that, one destiny, had they all, - yea also, the heart of the sons of men, was full of wickedness, and, madness, was in their heart, while they lived, and, after that, they went unto the dead. ⁴ For, whosoever was united to all the living, for him, there was hope, - -inasmuch as, a living dog, fared better than a dead lion. ⁵ For, the living, knew that they should die, - -but, the dead, knew not, anything, neither had they any longer a reward, because forgotten was their memory. ⁶ Both their love and their hatred and their envy, already had perished, - and, portion, had they none any longer, unto times age-abiding, in aught that was done under the sun.
