# just as a living dog is better than a dead lion
|

|

A "dog" was considered a lowly animal while a lion was considered a noble animal. This speaks of it being better to be lowly and alive than to be considered noble and dead. Alternate translation: "It is better to be lowly like a dog and to be alive than to be noble like a lion and to be dead" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
