The Living Will Envy The Dead

38

I think this has to do more with different translation that they were trying to use. For example, New News Translation with Apocrypha, reads:Ecclesiastes 4:2-3 GNTA2 I envy those who are dead and gone; they are better off than those who are still alive.3But better off than either are those who have never been born, who have never seen the injustice that goes on in this world.And the good ol' King James Bible reads:Ecc 4:2-3 KJV2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.3 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Emily Bazelon, Jamelle Bouie, David Plotz, and guest Julia Ioffe discuss the aftermath of John Boehner’s departure, the showdown between Vladamir Putin and Barack Obama over Syria, and a case involving prosecutorial fiddling with DNA evidence.
