Ecclesiastes 4:1-8

1Then I returnedH7725 and sawH7200 all the oppressionsH6217 that are done under the sunH8121: and, behold, the tearsH1832 of such as were oppressedH6231, and they had no comforterH5162; and on the side of their oppressorsH6231 there was power; but they had no comforterH5162. 2Wherefore I praised the deadH4191 that have been long deadH4191 moreH4480 than the living that are yet aliveH2416; 3yea, betterH2896 than them both did I esteem him that hath not yet beenH1961, who hath not seenH7200 the evilH7451 workH4639 that is done under the sunH8121.

4Then I sawH7200 all laborH5999 and every skilful workH4639, that for this a manH376 is envied of his neighborH7453. This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892 and a striving after windH7307. 5The foolH3684 foldeth his handsH3027 together, and eateth his own fleshH1320. 6Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with laborH5999 and striving after windH7307.

7Then I returnedH7725 and sawH7200 vanityH1892 under the sunH8121. 8There is oneH259 that is alone, and he hath not a secondH8145; yea, he hath neither sonH1121 nor brotherH251; yet is there no endH7093 of all his laborH5999, neither are his eyesH5869 satisfiedH7646 with richesH6239. For whom then, saith he, do I laborH5999, and deprive my soulH5315 of goodH2896? This alsoH1571 is vanityH1892, yea, it is a sore travail.
