EC-4:1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that
are
done under the sun: and behold the tears of [such as were]
oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their
oppressors [there was] power; but they had no comforter.
EC-4:2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more
than the living which are yet alive.
EC-4:3 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.
EC-4:4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work,
that
for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity
and
vexation of spirit.
EC-4:5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own
flesh.
EC-4:6 Better [is] an handful [with] quietness, than both the
hands
full [with] travail and vexation of spirit.
EC-4:7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
EC-4:8 There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea,
he
hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his
labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith
he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is]
also vanity, yea, it [is] a sore travail.
EC-4:9 Two [are] better than one; because they have a good
reward
for their labour.
EC-4:10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but
woe
to him [that is] alone when he falleth; for [he hath] not
another to
help him up.
EC-4:11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how
can one be warm [alone]?
EC-4:12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him;
and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
EC-4:13 Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and
foolish
king, who will no more be admonished.
EC-4:14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he
that
is] born in his kingdom becometh poor.
EC-4:15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun,
with
the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
EC-4:16 [There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all that
have been before them: they also that come after shall not
rejoice
in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
